The party also wants the province's election commissioner to look into the issue.
Alberta Party Leader Stephen Mandel speaks to members at the party's annual general meeting in Edmonton on Oct. 20, 2018.
Bob Wispinski of Ardrossan, east of Edmonton, says he picked up his landline Saturday afternoon and the recorded voice identified himself as Alberta Party Leader Stephen Mandel. The UCP and a representative for its candidate for the Strathcona-Sherwood Park constituency, which includes Ardrossan, say they aren't connected with the call."I answered the call and it says, 'Hi, I'm Stephen Mandel of the Alberta Party. As you know, Tuesday we're having an election, and if you believe in Alberta, Jason Kenney has all the answers," said Wispinski.
Wispinski, who supports the Alberta Party and is familiar with Mandel's voice from the TV leaders' debate and from when Mandel was Edmonton's mayor, said it really did sound like Mandel.
