Ward 9

Winner and long-term incumbent Bryan Anderson, first elected in 1998, swept ward 9 by a margin of almost 15,000 votes, cleanly beating first-time candidate Andrew Gorman.

Ward 10

With former councillor Don Iveson running for mayor, Ward 10 was guaranteed to see a new representative on council Monday night.

Community leaderMichael Walters, who ran for the Alberta Party in the last provincial election, was tipped early on as the most likely to step into Ivesons shoes.

Walters took an early lead, ultimately beating out competitor Richard Feehan by nearly 9,000 votes.

Ward 11

With former councillor Kerry Diotte stepping down to compete in the mayoral race, Ward 11 was forecasted be one of the most dynamic races to watch on election night.

In the end, ex-mayoral candidate and former city councillor Mike Nickel took the ward with more than a 5,000 vote leadon second-place contender Sonia Bitar.

In a surprise upset, Nickel was defeated in his 2007 re-election campaign by then-newcomer Don Iveson.

Fiscally conservative and priding himself as a dissenter on council, Nickel is likely to continue former councillor Diottes role on council.

Ward 12

Former ETS driver and incumbent city councillor Amarjeet Sohi, first elected in 2007, took a clear and decisive lead as soon as early results came in, ultimately winning by more than 9,800 votes.
