Rachel Notley steps down as Alberta NDP leader: "the honour of my life" | FULL

Former premier Rachel Notley, the leader of the Alberta NDP and Official Opposition, is stepping down. “Having considered what I believe to be the best interests of our party, our caucus, as well as my own preferences, I am here today to announce that I will not be leading Alberta’s NDP into the next election,” she said Tuesday afternoon during a press conference. Notley said she’ll stay on until there’s a leadership race and vote for a new Alberta NDP leader. "Short of having, raising and of course, regularly debating with my family, the opportunity to serve this party and this province has been the honour of my life," Notley said. "I'm so grateful." Once a new leader is chosen, she’ll step down from that role. Notley said she is “absolutely not” pursuing a role in federal politics. However, she said she’s not made any decisions about how long she’ll stay on as MLA for Edmonton-Strathcona. Her term ends in 2027.
