The Next Progressive Conservative leadership election is required due to the resignation of former Alberta Premier and Progressive Conservative Association of Alberta leader Jim Prentice after the defeat of the 43 year governing party in the May 5, 2015 Alberta general election. Prentice was selected leader 8 months prior to his defeat. On May 11, 2015, the remaining nine members of the party's caucus elected Ric McIver as interim leader.〔 According to the party's constitution, a leadership election must be held within six months of a vacancy occurring; in this case within six months of May 5, 2015 when Prentice announced his resignation. However, there was some discussion about delaying the leadership election until at least 2016. In order to delay the leadership vote, the party must first amend its constitution at its annual general meeting. The party board of directors has announced that the next Annual General Meeting will be held in Red Deer, Alberta in the spring of 2016 at which a vote will be held on a potential leadership contest. The exact date and agenda of the AGM are to be announced later.〔https://www.pcalberta.org/CMSArticle?name=The+Party+Revival+Continues〕 ==Timeline== *September 6, 2014 - Jim Prentice elected leader. *May 5, 2015 - Progressive Conservatives defeated in 2015 provincial election losing office after 44 years in power.
