In 2017, the Wildrose and Progressive Conservative parties in Alberta joined forces to form the United Conservative Party, bringing together MLAs across a wider range of the political spectrum.

But back then, the economy was stronger and all Alberta conservatives had a common goal of defeating the NDP, explained Mount Royal University political scientist Duane Bratt. The divisions were more easily glossed over, he said.

Wednesday night, a leadership review vote found only 51.4 per cent of voting UCP members supported Jason Kenney as leader. Shortly after the results were shared, Kenney announced his intention to resign.

Kyle Benning looks at the impacts of Kenny’s resignation on the party’s unity and future.
