Though there are several parties contesting this election, only two parties can win: the United Conservative Party (UCP), led by Premier Danielle Smith, and the Alberta NDP, led by former premier Rachel Notley.
Rachel Notley served as Premier of Alberta from 2015 – 2019. The NDP election victory in 2015 came as a shock not only to Alberta, but to the country.
