"The leftwing New Democrats have won election in the Canadian province of Alberta, ending a 44-year run by the Progressive Conservatives amid promises to review oversight of the oil and gas sector in the heart of Canada’s oil sands.
At the end of a month-long campaign the NDP, which has never held more than 16 seats in the 87-seat provincial legislature, will lead a majority government.
