NDP Leader Rachel Notley has now confirmed she will participate in a leaders debate this coming Thursday. Initially when the debate was announced Friday only UCP Leader Jason Kenney, Liberal Leader David Khan and Alberta Party Leader Stephen Mandel had confirmed their participation. Our hope is that the debate will include all parties that were represented in the legislature," Oates said. Freedom Conservative Party Leader Derek Fildebrant took to Twitter calling his exclusion "grossly undemocratic." Out of the 5 official parties in the #ABleg, only 3 have elected leaders.
