In the 2015 federal election there were just two Liberal MPs from Calgary .

The redistribution of some federal ridings and the addition of three more in Alberta means there are now 11 Calgary ridings in Calgary .

In 2021 , George Chahal was the only Liberal amongst the 10 members of Parliament that Calgarians sent to Ottawa after he defeated Conservative incumbent Jag Sihota .

In Calgary Skyview , there is no incumbent because the ridings boundaries were redrawn, but before redistribution, it flip-flopped between the Liberals and Conservatives .

The race in Calgary -Skyview is one of Calgary ’s most ethnically-diverse ridings with no high-profile candidates.

The other parties with candidates in Calgary Centre are the Green Party , People's Party and Rhinoceros Party .
