Longtime Edmonton Alberta NDP MLA is resigning his provincial seat
BY The Canadian Press, Mar 25, 2025 6:25 PM - REPORT AN ERROR
The Alberta Speaker's office says Loyola's resignation is to officially take effect Tuesday.
A longtime Alberta New Democrat member of the legislature is resigning his seat, sparking what will be the third provincial byelection in Alberta since the 2023 provincial vote.
Rod Loyola was first elected in 2015, and won his third term representing the Edmonton-Ellerslie riding two years ago. The Alberta Speaker's office says Loyola's resignation is to officially take effect Tuesday.
Loyola says he can't yet comment on his future plans. The resignation comes after former Alberta NDP leader Rachel Notley stepped down in December, paving the way for new leader Naheed Nenshi to run in a byelection in Edmonton-Strathcona that has yet to be called.
Earlier last year, NDP MLA Rob Miyashiro won the seat vacated by former NDP minister Shannon Phillips in the Lethbridge-West riding in a byelection.
