Albert Kristjansson

Albert Kristjansson

Albert E. Kristjansson (April 17, 1877—July 29, 1974) was a politician in Manitoba, Canada. He served in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba from 1920 to 1922. During his political career, he was a resident of Lundar, Manitoba.

Kristjansson was elected to the Manitoba legislature in the 1920 provincial election as a Labour Party candidate, defeating Liberal incumbent Skuli Sigfusson by 117 votes in the constituency of St. George. The Liberal Party won a minority government in this election, and Kristjansson initially served with the Labour parliamentary group in opposition.

He subsequently left the Labour Party to sit with the Independent-Farmer legislative group, loosely aligned with the Progressive Party of Canada. He sought re-election as a candidate of the United Farmers of Manitoba in the 1922 campaign, and lost to Sigfusson by 652 votes. Kristjansson attempted to return to the legislature as a Progressive candidate in the 1927 election, but lost to Sigfusson again.
