CP NewsAlert: Conservative Leader Éric Duhaime projected to win riding

The Canadian Press decision desk is predicting that Éric Duhaime, the leader of the Conservative Party of Québec, will emerge victorious in the upcoming election for his riding of Bellechasse, located south of Quebec City. Duhaime assumed the role of party leader in 2021, making this his first successful electoral campaign. The Quebec Conservatives have not elected a member to the provincial legislature since 1935, marking this as a historic moment for the party.

Prior to his political career, Duhaime served as a political aide in Ottawa for the Bloc Québécois during the 1990s and later worked with former Canadian Alliance Party leader Stockwell Day.
