The premier becomes the premier when the provincial party (in this case, being the Alberta PC party) gets the most votes. The leader of that party then becomes Premier of Alberta. The citizens of Alberta choose the Premier by voting for MLAs of specific parties. The more votes for MLAs of a particular party, the higher the chance that the leader of that political party of Alberta will become Premier.
In Alberta's territorial government context, there is no Premier as Alberta is a province, not a territory. The head of government is known as the Premier of Alberta. As of my last update in October 2023, the Premier of Alberta is Danielle Smith, who leads the United Conservative Party. If you're referring to a specific time or context, please clarify.
The premier typically belongs to the ruling political party in the government, which varies by region or country. For example, in Canada, the premier of a province is the leader of the political party that has the most seats in the provincial legislature. The specific house or party affiliation would depend on the current political context and the identity of the premier in question.

In Alberta, the provincial representative is typically the Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) who is elected to represent a specific electoral district in the Alberta Legislature. Each MLA serves as the voice of their constituents in provincial government matters. Additionally, the Premier of Alberta, who leads the governing party, also plays a significant role as a provincial representative. As of my last update, the Premier is Danielle Smith, but it's advisable to check for the most current information.
