Alberta election results live: Jason Kenney vs Rachel Notley
It will be Rachel Notley, the popular leader of the flagging NDP, or it will be Jason Kenney, the controversial figure whose United Conservative Party showed a commanding lead in almost every poll.
Kenney, the former Conservative cabinet minister who left his seat in Ottawa to unite the province’s fractured conservative movement, was beset by controversy through much of the campaign. The NDP zeroed in on his past, unearthing and releasing Kenney’s political record and retrograde comments on LGBTQ rights.
“It was horrible,” said Dan Rose, a voter in Edmonton. “I can’t think of a worse, more negative, more caustic campaign in my time. It was just awful.” And while the new party polls better than the NDP, Kenney personally hasn’t polled as well as the incumbent premier.
