Journalist Alex Boissonneault to run as Parti Québécois candidate in Arthabaska byelection
Journalist Alex Boissonneault, host of Radio-Canada Québec's Première heure, will be the Parti Québécois (PQ) candidate in the Arthabaska byelection. The PQ confirmed the information on Monday, saying in a written response that 'the announcement in due form and the answers to questions will be made on Wednesday in Arthabaska.' Éric Duhaime, leader of the Quebec Conservative Party and candidate in Arthabaska, is hoping to win his party its first seat in the National Assembly in the byelection. The Conservatives had 13 per cent of the vote in the last election, but did not elect any members to the National Assembly. Poll aggregator Qc125 predicts a very tight three-way race in Arthabaska between the Coalition avenir Québec, the PQ and the Conservatives. Premier François Legault has until September to call the byelection. This report by The Canadian Press was first published in French on May 12, 2025.
