EDMONTON — Rachel Notley, the former premier of Alberta, is stepping down as leader of the province’s Opposition NDP.

Notley says there will now be a race to replace her, and she plans to stay in the job until a new leader is picked.

Notley says she may or may not remain as the member for Edmonton-Strathcona until her term ends in 2027.

And she hasn’t ruled out running again for the NDP.

Notley has been the party’s leader for almost a decade.
