UCP Leader Danielle Smith Secures Strong Support from Party Members

United Conservative Party (UCP) Leader Danielle Smith returns to the legislature with a renewed mandate from party members.  The UCP held their annual general meeting in Red Deer this past weekend where members discussed policy, party direction, and held a review of Smith’s leadership.

Over 4,600 attendees endorsed Smith’s leadership, giving her a glowing 91.5 per cent support. This level of endorsement surpasses even the highest totals received by former iconic Tory leaders Peter Lougheed and Ralph Klein during the height of their popularity.
