Former Alberta premier Rachel Notley has announced her resignation as the province's NDP president.
Notley has been the leader of the Alberta NDP since 2014. She first became an MLA from Edmonton-Strathcona in 2008.
At that time the party was on only two seats. In 2015, under her leadership, New Democratic formed the government in the state with 54 seats and at that time Notley became the premier for the first time. With Notley's resignation announcement, the party will have to prepare for the election of a new leader.
Notley says she can remain a member of Edmonton-Strathcona until her term expires in 2027 and later leave it. However, she has not ruled out running for re-election for the NDP.
It is worth noting that Notley grew up in Fairview, Alberta and her father Grant Notley was also the NDP leader of Alberta. Notley holds a Bachelor of Arts in political science from the University of Alberta and a law degree from Osgoode Hall Law School.
