After the resignation of Don Getty as party leader and provincial premier, the Progressive Conservative Party elected former Calgary mayor Ralph Klein as his replacement. The initial response from voters was muted: the party increased its share of the popular vote only marginally, and lost eight seats in the legislature. It nonetheless continued to have a large majority in the legislature for its seventh consecutive term in government. The Liberal Party of Laurence Decore capitalized on the stagant PC vote and the collapse of the New Democratic Party vote from 26% to 11%. As opposition to the PC government coalesced around Decore and the Liberals, they managed to win almost 40% of the popular vote and 32 seats in the legislature, forming the largest opposition caucus in Alberta history. Except for 1917 when the government majority was smaller, but there were far less seats in the legislature. Ray Martin 's NDP went down to defeat by being shut out of the legislature for the first time since 1967. RESULTS Notes:
