Conservatives Recapture Greenway in Byelection
CALGARY: Alberta’s Progressive Conservative party managed to hang onto one of its handful of seats in the provincial legislature with a narrow victory over the Wildrose party on Tuesday.
It was a nail-biter of a night, with the race at times too close to call.
But in the end, the Wildrose’s Devinder Toor, a local businessman, conceded defeat to Tory candidate Prab Gill, a real-estate appraiser, who won by a 335-vote margin.
The bad news for the ruling NDP government was that their candidate, Roop Rai, a former radio host and producer, ended the night in fourth place behind the Liberal, property developer Khalil Karbani.
