Alberta Premier Danielle Smith postpones Lethbridge-West byelection if NDP Leader Naheed Nenshi chooses Calgary seat.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is awaiting NDP Leader Naheed Nenshi's decision to run for a legislature seat before calling a byelection in Lethbridge-West, vacant since Shannon Phillips' resignation in July. Both the NDP and UCP have candidates ready, with the byelection required by January 1. Nenshi prefers a Calgary seat, raising questions about representation in Lethbridge. The premier aims to hold both byelections simultaneously for efficiency.
