Alberta General Election, 2001The 25th general election for the Province of Alberta, Canada, was held on March 12, 2001 to elect members of the Alberta legislature. The incumbent Alberta Progressive Conservative Party, led by Ralph Klein, won a strong majority for its tenth consecutive term in government. In addition to increasing its share of the popular vote to almost 62%, the PC Party won a majority of seats in Edmonton for the first time since 1982. The Liberal Party lost 11 seats and ran up a large debt. Its leader, Nancy MacBeth, was defeated in her riding. the New Democratic Party, led by Raj Pannu, maintained both its share of the popular vote and its two seats in the legislature. The NDP attempted to attract young voters with the slogan, "Raj against the Machine". The right-wing Alberta First Party, contesting its first election, failed to win any seats or come close. The Social Credit Party, led by James Alberts, was unable to build on its moderate success in the 1997 election, and sank back into obscurity. | owspan="2"|Party | rowspan="2"|Party Leader | rowspan="2"|# of candidates | colspan="3"|Seats | colspan="3"|Popular Vote | | lign="center"|Previous | align="center"|After | align="center"|% Change | align="center"|# | align="center"|% | align="center"|Change | | Progressive Conservative | Ralph Klein | align="right"| 83 | align="right"| 63 | align="right"| 74 | align="right"| +17.5% | align="right"| 627,252 | align="right"| 61.91% | align="right"| +10.74% | | Liberal | Nancy MacBeth | align="right"| 83 | align="right"| 18 | align="right"| 7 | align="right"| -61.1% | align="right"| 276,854 | align="right"| 27.33% | align="right"| -5.42% | | New Democratic | Raj Pannu | align="right"| 83 | align="right"| 2 | align="right"| 2 | align="right"| - | align="right"| 81,339 | align="right"| 8.03% | align="right"| -0.78% | | Independent | | align="right"| 29 | align="right"| - | align="right"| - | align="right"| | align="right"| 10,528 | align="right"| 1.04% | align="right"| +0.93% | | Alberta First | | align="right"| 16 | align="right"| n.a. | align="right"| - | align="right"| n.a. | align="right"| 8,851 | align="right"| 0.87% | align="right"| n.a. | | Social Credit | James Alberts | align="right"| 12 | align="right"| - | align="right"| - | align="right"| | align="right"| 5,361 | align="right"| 0.53% | align="right"| -6.31% | | Green | | align="right"| 10 | align="right"| - | align="right"| - | align="right"| | align="right"| 2,085 | align="right"| 0.28% | align="right"| +0.17% | | Communist | | align="right"| 2 | align="right"| - | align="right"| - | align="right"| | align="right"| 117 | align="right"| 0.01% | align="right"| x | | Total | | 318 | 83 | 83 | - | 1,013,152 | 100.00% | | | align="center" colspan="9"|Source: Elections Alberta | Notes: "Previous" refers to to standings at previous election, not to standings in the Legislature at dissolution. n.a. = not applicable - the party was not recognized in the previous election x - less than 0.005% of the popular vote See also List of Canadian political parties Elected - Airdrie-Rocky View: Carol Haley, PC (79.9%)
