CBC projecting UCP majority government for Alberta | CBC News
Created in 2017 through a merger of the Wildrose and Progressive Conservative parties, early results project the UCP to win a majority of seats in Tuesday's provincial election.
Rachel Notley's NDP will become Alberta's Official Opposition. The party dropped from 52 seats, with the majority of support concentrated in Notley's home base of Edmonton.
Kenney, a former cabinet minister in Stephen Harper's Conservative government, won the leadership of the Alberta Progressive Conservative party in 2016 before leading the PCs into a successful 2017 merger with the Wildrose Party. That same year, he won the UCP leadership handily in a contest later marred by controversy.
