Former Wildrose Party leader and radio host Danielle Smith says she will be running for leadership of the United Conservative Party of Alberta (UCP) after Premier Jason Kenney announced this week he would be stepping down.

“We’re all Albertans, we all want the best for Alberta, and I think that you will find that my campaign is going to be centred around putting Alberta, Alberta interests, and Albertans first,” Smith said in a virtual press conference on May 19.
