The Conservatives were elected in 34 ridings in early returns.

In Calgary, George Chahal made history in 2021, becoming the first Liberal to win a seat in Parliament from the southern Alberta city since 1968. On Monday, however, he lost to Conservative challenger Dalwinder Gill in the redrawn riding of Calgary McKnight.聽

Chahal was scheduled to speak from his campaign office in northeast Calgary at 8:45 p.m.聽

He didn鈥檛 emerge until about 11 p.m., just after the riding had been called for the Conservatives.

鈥淭onight, we鈥檙e still waiting for the results,鈥� Chahal told a crowd of teary-eyed supporters. 鈥淭his election was much tighter than anticipated. Once all the polls are in, I will make a formal statement.鈥�

While the Liberals lost one, they gained one. In Calgary Confederation, Liberal Corey Hogan defeated Conservative Jeremy Nixon, a former Alberta cabinet minister, in a nail-biter race.

Conservative incumbent Greg McLean fended off a stiff challenge in Calgary Centre from Liberal Lindsay Luhnau.

In Edmonton, the Liberals and NDP failed to consolidate or build on earlier gains.

The Liberals retained their hold on Edmonton Centre, with candidate Eleanor Olszewski edging out Conservative Sayid Ahmed. The riding had been held by former Liberal cabinet minister Randy Boissonnault, but he did not run again.

Edmonton Mayor Amarjeet Sohi, a former federal energy minister, had hoped to return to the Liberal fold in Edmonton Southeast but was handily defeated by Conservative candidate Jagsharan Singh Mahal.

Sohi told a solemn crowd of supporters at a banquet hall that the election result wasn鈥檛 what he was expecting, but that he had no regrets.

鈥淭his is not a reflection of this campaign,鈥� Sohi said.聽

鈥淚 take full responsibility for this because we can always, always do better, and I’m committed to making sure that I do better.鈥�

Sohi will now return to the mayor鈥檚 seat, but he confirmed he won鈥檛 be seeking re-election in October.

In Edmonton Griesbach, Conservative Kerry Diotte won back the riding he lost to Blake Desjarlais of the NDP in 2021, defeating Desjarlais handily in a rematch.

In Edmonton Strathcona, NDP Heather McPherson of the NDP won a third term, defeating Conservative Miles Berry.
