UCP hold on to seats in Alberta byelection
Edmonton, AB – Alberta’s Opposition United Conservatives have won two byelections, maintaining hold of ridings the party represented before the vote was called.
In Innisfail-Sylvan Lake, United Conservative candidate Devin Dreeshen took about 80 per cent of the vote with the NDP’s Nicole Mooney running a distant second.
The United Conservative margin of victory in Fort McMurray-Conklin was almost as one-sided, with Laila Goodridge winning about 70 per cent of the votes with most polls reporting.
New Democrat Jane Stroud was second with about 25 per cent of the ballots.
