- Campbell becomes Calgary-Shaw’s MLA after a count that remained extremely close throughout.
- Kyle Joseph of the Progressive Tory Party of Alberta received 978 votes, John Roggeveen 602, and Independent Rolly Ashdown 82.
- Calgary-Shaw was considered a Tory stronghold; the UCP held the seat for two terms after the NDP represented it from 2015 to 2019.
- Premier Danielle Smith congratulated Campbell and said her UCP government would work constructively with him.
This means that 35 days from today, we send Danielle Smith and her separatist pals packing, and within a year from now, we give Albertans the NDP government they deserve.— Naheed Nenshi, Alberta NDP Leader, describing the win as an 'earthquake' for the party; he spoke to supporters after the results.

- Naheed Nenshi’s entry into Alberta’s legislature gives the NDP a temporary boost, but significant challenges remain.
- His 82% victory in Edmonton-Strathcona offers limited insight into performance in more competitive ridings.
- The NDP’s vote share in Edmonton-Ellerslie fell by more than 10 percentage points since 2023, indicating softening support.
- The party has yet to clearly define its vision beyond critiquing the governing UCP under Nenshi’s leadership.
We’re not letting them escape with anything. We’re not letting them get away with a thing.— Naheed Nenshi on holding the government accountable to Albertans.
