“We felt really hopeful right up until the numbers came in of course, right until the last ballot is counted we’re very hopeful that we can win this riding and until tomorrow we won’t know for sure,” Flatla said.

“So we’re just going to sleep on it tonight, wait until the sun comes up and see what tomorrow brings.”

Phillips also beat Zac Rhodenizer of the Alberta Party, the Liberals’ Pat Chizek and Ben Maddison of the Alberta Independence Party.

Phillips was first elected in 2015 and served as minister of environment and parks in Rachel Notley’s government.
