EXCERPT: "Alberta NDP Leader Naheed Nenshi mopped the floor with his opponents in the Edmonton-Strathcona by-election Monday.

Nenshi can now join his caucus in the legislature with his head held high, a convincing 78.6-per-cent victory behind him.

In the 2023 general election, party leader and former premier Rachel Notley captured 79.7 per cent of the vote, albeit on a higher turnout. But Nenshi’s 7,952 votes in the unofficial results from Elections Alberta after the polls closed Monday night will be just fine, thank you very much.

The Alberta Liberal Party (195 votes), Alberta Party (115), Republican Party of Alberta (65) and the Wildrose Loyalty Coalition (24, but loyalty to what, one wonders?) could all have saved themselves considerable embarrassment if they hadn’t bothered to run anyone at all in Edmonton-Strathcona. . . .
