Alberta Premier Danielle Smith received 91.5 per cent support for her leadership from members of her United Conservative Party who voted in Red Deer, Alta., on Saturday.

“Our party is united as it has ever been,” Smith told the cheering crowd after the number was announced.

The party said 4,633 ballots were cast in the vote. The result solidifies Smith’s leadership of Alberta’s governing party and confirms party members agree with the direction she has taken the province since she took over the party two years ago.
