EDMONTON — Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is heading back to the legislature.
Smith defeated four challengers to win a byelection Tuesday night in the constituency of Brooks-Medicine Hat.
She has been absent from the legislature for seven years.
She won a seat in 2012 as leader of the former Wildrose Party, but failed to even gain a nomination in 2015 after she led her caucus on a mass floor crossing to the Progressive Conservatives.
