Battle River-Crowfoot

Pierre Poilievre wins Alberta byelection, regains seat in House of Commons

Aug 18, 2025 | 10:04 PM

After a summer of rodeos, dinosaurs and door-knocking, Pierre Poilievre is now officially heading back to Ottawa as a Conservative member of Parliament for Alberta.

The Tory leader will represent the sprawling rural riding of Battle RiverCrowfoot, in the province’s eastern region, after winning a byelection on Monday.

Poilievre’s return to the House of Commons in one of the safest Conservative seats in the country was all but guaranteed, observers said.

Now Poilievre’s attention will turn to two things; the fall sitting of Parliament and his upcoming leadership review.

When Parliament resumes on September 15th, Poilievre will square off with Prime Minister Mark Carney in the House of Commons for the first time.
