Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi has handily won a third term after a bitter and divisive campaign during which his at-times prickly personality was a focus.
His main challenger, former Progressive Conservative Party president Bill Smith, conceded around midnight Tuesday.
With most polls reporting, Nenshi had nearly 51 per cent of the vote, with Smith garnering around 44 per cent – not as strong as his showing in the 2013 election, when he won 73 per cent of the vote.
