The 28th Alberta Legislative Assembly was constituted after the 2012 Alberta general election on April 23, 2012. The Progressive Conservatives, led by Premier Alison Redford managed to hold on to a majority. This PC majority was later led by Premiers Dave Hancock and Jim Prentice.

Official Seating Plan (Retrieved March 10, 2015)

After the defections of 11 Wildrose MLA's, the Liberals and Wildrose were tied at 5 seats each, but the Speaker ruled that Wildrose would continue as the Official Opposition, a status that carries additional funding and privileges.
