UCP Caucus issues statement following recall petition

PARKLAND COUNTY---- A statement has been issued by the United Conservative Caucus following Spruce Grove-Stony Plain MLA Searle Turton's recall petition.

"The recall process should not be used to overturn democratic elections just because an individual disagrees with government policy. Recalls are meant to address breaches of trust, serious misconduct, or a sustained failure to represent constituents, not political disagreements," they said in a statement.

They also said they remain focused on what they were elected to do, which is standing up for Albertans by growing the economy, lowering the taxes, and creating opportunities.

 According to the petition, Turton could be removed if 15,189 signatures are gathered by local constituents.

Signature collection began on November 26th and will end on February 23rd, 2026. 

The petition was first started by Mona O'Neill on November 25th. 88.1 The One has reached out to her for an interview.
