Former Ward 5 councillor George Chahal is now Liberal Member of Parliament George Chahal after a decisive victory over his incumbent Conservative opponent Jag Sahota in Calgary-Skyview.

Conservative candidates firmly won the remainder of the city’s 10 electoral districts despite reduced vote share compared to 2019 results. Greg McLean retained his incumbency in Calgary-Centre after winning the riding in 2019 against Liberal MP Kent Hehr.

Across all electoral districts in Calgary, the Liberals, NDP, and People’s Party of Canada saw increased percentages of vote share. 

Calgary-Skyview saw the biggest swing in results, going from 28.3 per cent of the vote for then-Liberal candidate Nirmala Naidoo to 42.7 per cent for Chahal. Sahota saw her vote share drop to 35.6 per cent from her victory in 2019 with 52.5 per cent.

Federal NDP candidates saw their vote shares increase to between 15 and 18 per cent in all electoral districts from between nine and 15 in 2019.

The People’s Party of Canada likewise saw an upswell in support. Candidates saw an increase in average vote share, going from 1.9 per cent in 2019 to 5.2 per cent in this election.

Conservative Party candidates saw on average a 12.6 per cent decrease in their vote share in the city. One per cent less than the provincial average of 13.6 per cent.
