Doug Griffiths wins Battle River-Wainwright in nail-biter, PCs regain resounding majority


In one of the most talked about elections in years, Premier Alison Redford and the Progressive Conservatives once again pulled ahead on Monday with a resounding majority victory, continuing their 41 year dynasty as the province’s governing party.

In an incredibly tight race, Battle River-Wainwright MLA and PC candidate Doug Griffiths retained his seat, just narrowing out Wildrose Party candidate Dave Nelson in the polls 47 per cent to 44 per cent. Nelson at one point actually led Griffiths, but could not maintain it.
