Party leader Stephen Mandel said he’s pleased with the decision.

“These decisions reinforce the importance of having a democratic process that’s open, fair and accessible. All Albertans deserve the opportunity to step forward to represent their communities and voters deserve a choice.”

Six members of the Alberta Party were ruled ineligible to run in February including Mandel.

A decision on his appeal is expected Friday.
