Parti Québécois leader asks caucus to stay ready for next election after minority win
Quebec premier-designate Paul St-Pierre Plamondon has instructed his team to remain vigilant, as the party is set to govern in a minority capacity. He addressed Parti Québécois members, urging them to be prepared for a potential future election campaign. The PQ secured 59 seats in the latest election, compared to 40 for the Quebec Liberal Party.
The Coalition Avenir Québec, however, failed to gain any representation, while the Quebec Conservative Party and Québec solidaire held 19 and 9 seats respectively. St-Pierre Plamondon expressed his intention to adopt a collaborative approach to governance, acknowledging that it is not within their control whether other parties will accept their overtures.
The party must now address various challenges, including determining the best way to represent the Quebec City region, which did not yield any seats.
