Six UCP cabinet ministers and the Speaker of Albertas legislature face recall petitions, including Myles McDougall, Muhammad Yaseen, Rajan Sawhney, R. J. Sigurdson, Dale Nally, and Ric McIver. These petitions aim to remove them from office before their terms end. Four of these politicians represent Calgary ridings. The UCP caucus argues that recalls should not be used for political disagreements, but for serious issues like breaches of trust or misconduct. Recall petitions need 60% of votes cast in the riding during the 2023 general election, requiring thousands of signatures. Elections Alberta will verify petitions by March 15th, ensuring transparency and accountability in the process.
