It is also the only district where two future Prime Ministers competed against each other – King against Diefenbaker, in the 1926 election.

This riding is found in the central part of the province, in the transitional area between the Aspen parkland and boreal forest biomes.

The major centre of the riding, and its namesake, is the city of Prince Albert which has a rich political history.

While the city of Prince Albert has significant NDP support, the rural areas are among the most conservative in Saskatchewan and the country.

[citation needed] As a result, it has been in the hands of a centre-right party for its entire existence in its current incarnation.
