Calgary-Shaw Alberta provincial byelection

Overview

In August 2026, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith called a provincial byelection for the Calgary-Shaw riding, scheduled for September 14. The vacancy followed the resignation of former United Conservative Party (UCP) cabinet minister Rebecca Schulz.

The election featured Mike Derry representing the UCP and Kyle Campbell representing the Alberta NDP. The NDP, led by Naheed Nenshi, framed the vote as a rejection of a government that “caters to separatists.”

On September 15, unofficial results showed that Kyle Campbell won the byelection, defeating Mike Derry. The victory flipped a seat that was historically a UCP stronghold. Naheed Nenshi stated the result suggests “there are no longer safe UCP seats” in Calgary, while Premier Smith expressed a commitment to working with the new MLA.
