Resignation of Laila Goodridge

On August 14, 2021, incumbent Conservative MP for Fort McMurray—Cold Lake David Yurdiga decided not to seek re-election and communicated his decision to party leader Erin O'Toole the same day.[2] The announcement was made public on August 15, with a party spokesman citing health concerns for his decision.[2]

The same day, Lalia Goodridge resigned her seat in the Legislative Assembly and was chosen by the Conservative Party as Yurdiga's replacement.[3][1] Her appointment as candidate was criticized by party's local electoral district association in a Facebook post on August 20, stating the association was preparing to hold a nominating contest and was "blindsided" by the federal party's appointment.[4]

Results

Brian Jean won the by-election in a landslide, retaining the seat for the United Conservative Party.[5] Шаблон:Canadian election result/top Шаблон:CANelec Шаблон:CANelec Шаблон:CANelec Шаблон:CANelec Шаблон:CANelec Шаблон:CANelec Шаблон:CANelec Шаблон:CANelec Шаблон:Canadian election result/total Шаблон:Canadian election result/total Шаблон:Canadian election result/total Шаблон:Canadian election result/total Шаблон:End
