History

The Wildrose Loyalty Coalition was formed in March 2023 following an internal party dispute that led to the removal of Paul Hinman as leader of the Wildrose Independence Party. [2] Hinman, the founder of the WIP, ousted as leader in 2022. After briefly regaining control of the party, the takeover was subsequently overturned by the court. [4] The WLC officially became a registered political party with Elections Alberta on May 1, 2023. [5] [6]
