Alberta Opposition NDP Says UCP Cooking Riding Boundaries Ahead of Election
Alberta Opposition NDP Leader Naheed Nenshi accused Premier Danielle Smith’s United Conservatives of shaping riding boundaries to benefit their party before next year’s election.
Nenshi said a report before an all-party committee would gerrymander ridings in Lethbridge and Calgary by diluting NDP support.
NDP committee members said Lethbridge could change from two urban ridings into four ridings that include nearby rural areas, with similar changes proposed in northwest Calgary.
The report was not public, and the United Conservative Party held a majority of committee votes overseeing the proposed changes.
