After months of speculation about when the call would come, Alberta’s 30th general election officially kicked off Tuesday. In front of a crowd of supporters in Calgary, NDP Leader Rachel Notley announced Albertans will go to the polls April 16.

Each of the province’s 87 ridings elects a member to the legislature. But some races will garner more attention than others, either because of who’s running, the riding’s history or its demographics.

Here are ten races worth watching in this campaign.

Edmonton-Meadows

In February, UCP Leader Jason Kenney announced the party had recruited a star candidate: former Edmonton Eskimos president Len Rhodes. Rhodes was such a compelling candidate, Kenney said, that the UCP was appointing him as its standard bearer in the brand-new riding of Edmonton-Meadows — making Rhodes the only appointed candidate on the UCP ticket.

Trouble was, the party was already deep in a nomination race with three grassroots candidates. One of those candidates, Arundeep Singh Sandhu, said he felt burned by the decision because Kenney had personally encouraged him to run.
