Alberta independence supporters won five of the nine board seats up for election at this year’s United Conservative Party annual convention.
The vote took place on Nov. 29, the second day of the UCP’s annual general meeting (AGM) in Edmonton, which drew more than 4,200 attendees. Ahead of the convention, the sovereignty advocacy group Alberta Prosperity Project (APP) released a list highlighting candidates who have publicly supported Alberta independence, saying greater representation on the board would provide “key levers for amplifying Alberta-first voices.”
