Alberta Premier Jason Kenney resigns as UCP leader after getting 51.4% support in leadership review

‘The result is not what I hoped for, or frankly, what I expected,’ Kenney said following the announcement of the results on Wednesday evening

It will trigger a leadership contest in the very party Kenney was instrumental in building, cobbling together the pieces of the Progressive Conservatives and the Wildrose party.

The province will, as a result, also get another premier, once the party selects an interim leader — the sixth premier in a decade.
