Latest News About Premiership Of Jason Kenney

I don’t have live access to current news in this moment, but I can summarize the situation up to the latest widely reported developments.

Direct answer

• As of the most recent widely covered reporting, Jason Kenney no longer serves as premier of Alberta. He resigned as leader of the United Conservative Party (UCP) after a leadership review in May 2022, and Danielle Smith succeeded him as premier in October 2022. There have been subsequent discussions within the UCP about leadership direction, but Kenney himself is not the current premier.

Context and background

• Premiership timeline: Kenney became Alberta’s premier in 2019 after leading the UCP to a majority; his tenure ended with his leadership resignation in 2022, after which Danielle Smith took over the role .
• Leadership transition: Kenney’s leadership review resulted in a narrow vote in favor (around 51.4%), after which he announced he would resign as UCP leader and premier once a new leader was chosen, leading to Smith’s eventual accession .
• Post-2022 developments: Danielle Smith has been the premier since late 2022, with ongoing party dynamics and governance in Alberta under the UCP. For the most current status, including any leadership discussions or changes within the party since then, a fresh news check would be needed .

If you’d like, I can pull the latest updates from reliable outlets and summarize who is premier now, any recent leadership votes, and how that affects policy in Alberta. I can also provide a brief comparison of Kenney’s premiership vs. Smith’s tenure so far, with key policy highlights and election implications.

Note: I can tailor the update to your preference (provincial Alberta focus, or broader Canadian political context).
