The first round of voting on November 25 eliminated all but three candidates-Jim Dinning, Ted Morton and Ed Stelmach.

Kwong swore Ed Stelmach into office as the 13th Premier of Alberta on December 14, 2006.

Dinning raised over 2 million dollars for his leadership bid but was ultimately defeated by leadership candidate Ed Stelmach when party members voted for Klein's replacement on December 2, 2006.

Dinning ultimately lost the party election to Ed Stelmach as a result of a second ballot vote on December 2, 2006.

During much of the campaign, he held at least a 20-point lead over his closest competitor and over a 40-point lead on Stelmach.

Alliance supporters tended to view themselves as " true conservatives ", and believed the Progressive Conservative government of Premier Ed Stelmach to be out of touch with the needs of Albertans.

His tenure as premier ended when the Alberta Progressive Conservatives ' new leader, Ed Stelmach, assumed office December 14, 2006, exactly fourteen years after Klein first became Premier.

Alberta Premier Ed Stelmach decided to defer new Senate elections set to take place when the terms of senators-in-waiting ended, which was controversial.

Going up against rookie Premier Ed Stelmach, the Alberta Liberals had high hopes of increasing their seat count dramatically, particularly with the supposed discontent with the Tories in Calgary.

In 2008, Premier Ed Stelmach abolished the tax, which had previously brought in $ 900 million to the province's general revenue fund.

On January 25, 2011, Stelmach announced his intention to step down as party leader and Premier prior to the next provincial election as a result of a dispute with his finance minister, Ted Morton, over the provincial budget.

Klein's successor, Ed Stelmach, represented a riding just outside Edmonton and was perceived to be less connected to the interests of Calgary-headquartered energy corporations.

The party has formed the provincial government, without interruption, since 1971 under premiers Peter Lougheed ( 1971 – 1985 ), Don Getty ( 1985 – 1992 ), Ralph Klein ( 1992 – 2006 ), Ed Stelmach ( 2006 – 2011 ) and Alison Redford ( 2011 – present ).

In the wake of the rise of the libertarian / social conservative Wildrose Party in Alberta in the 2010s, the term " Red Tory " has been revived as a name of the moderate wing of the Progressive Conservative Party of Alberta, which was seen to be in ascendance following Ed Stelmach and, moreso, Allison Redford to the leadership.

In the second round, Stelmach was declared the winner.

Stelmach formally resigned in September 2011.

Redford replaced Ed Stelmach, who retired after serving as Premier for over four years.
