PARTY STANDINGS AFTER THE 26TH GENERAL ELECTION





Seating Plan


Official Seating Plan (pdf format)




  • The Alberta Court of Appeal declared Thomas Lukaszuk the victor more than two months after the election. The election-night vote count had given Chris Kibermanis of the Liberals a five-vote win, but the judicial recount gave Lukaszuk a three-vote margin of victory.


  • A party requires four seats to have official party status in the legislature. Parties with fewer than four seats are not entitled to party funding although their members will usually be permitted to sit together in the chamber. For this reason, Paul Hinman , sole representative of the Alberta Alliance Party , is considered an independent, rather than party leader.
