"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. It held a commanding lead in early results, leading or elected in 54 seats at 9pm local time while the Conservatives were ahead in just 13, according to CBC TV.

The NDP is expected to be far less accommodating to the western Canadian province’s powerful energy industry."
