Alberta NDP win in Calgary-Shaw byelection

With all polls reporting , Campbell earned 7,461 of the 16,002 votes counted, about 47 per cent, 582 votes ahead of the UCP candidate Mike Derry.

Campbell's win represents the first time the NDP has won the riding since the party's "orange wave" when it formed government in 2015, with the UCP winning the seat in 2019 and 2023.

"I have always had running for political office on the bucket list, and it showed up really fast, but I'm glad that we get to focus on what truly matters. It's our family, it's our friends, it's our community," Campbell told supporters at a pub in southeast Calgary on Monday evening.

"This opportunity is a chance to live what I believe in my heart, which is that leadership is about service."
