  "account": "The Quebec election campaign is in its 27th day as the final debate approaches, with less than two weeks remaining until voters cast their ballots. The leaders of the five main parties - Parti Québécois, Liberals, Coalition Avenir Québec, Conservatives, and Québec solidaire - are preparing to return to the campaign trail on Tuesday.\n\nAs the election nears, party leaders are fielding questions about potential alliances should no party secure a majority. Paul St-Pierre Plamondon, leader of the Parti Québécois, has ruled out the possibility of an alliance, responding to suggestions from his rivals that his ideas align with those of Conservative Leader Éric Duhaime.\n\nAccording to the poll aggregator Qc125, the Parti Québécois remains the frontrunner in the race, though a minority outcome is the most probable scenario. As the final televised debate approaches, the party leaders are gearing up for the crucial event, scheduled for Wednesday in Montreal.",
  "summary": "Quebec's party leaders are expected to be back out on the campaign trail Tuesday, with less than two weeks to go before the provincial election vote.",
