Official Opposition Leader Rachel Notley says she fully intends to lead Alberta’s NDP into the 2023 provincial election and that she believes her party can regain the support of voters the next time they head to the polls.
“Yes, absolutely,” Notley recently told Global News during a year-end interview when asked if she will run as leader of the NDP in 2023.
“I feel pretty bullish about our chances.”
Notley said she believes that being a politician, “if it’s done right… can actually be a bit of a noble-ish profession,” she said.
“I know… It’s not a common belief anymore… [but] I really care about the province and I want to see us doing better.”
Notley and the New Democrats lost April’s provincial election to Jason Kenney and his United Conservative Party, who won enough seats to form a majority government.
Four years earlier, the NDP surged to power by unseating the Progressive Conservatives, who had spent 44 consecutive years in government.
