The Alberta Advantage Party is a registered political party in Alberta, Canada. The party was registered with Elections Alberta on November 9, 2018.[3] It was formed by members of the Wildrose Party disaffected by that party's 2017 merger with the Progressive Conservatives to form the United Conservative Party.[4] Its leader is Marilyn Burns, and the party's philosophy is situated on the right side of the political spectrum. Its platform includes recall of elected representatives.[3]
The Alberta Advantage Party ran 28 candidates in the 2019 Alberta general election, none of whom placed higher than fourth. Province-wide, the party took 0.3% of the vote; its most successful candidate by vote share was Terry Blaquier in Cypress-Medicine Hat, who took 1.43% of the vote en route to a fourth-place finish in a five-candidate field.
On February 5, 2022, the Alberta Advantage Party changed named its official name to the Advantage Party of Alberta as voted on at the Annual General Meeting.
