Last blitz for candidates before Monday's byelection in Arthabaska
Quebec Conservative Party leader Eric Duhaime, CAQ candidate Keven Brasseur and PQ candidate Alex Boissonneault are the frontrunners for the Arthabaska byelection. (Christinne Muschi/The Canadian Press) It's the last blitz for candidates before the byelection in the provincial riding of Arthabaska, in the Centre-du-Québec region. Voters are invited to the polls on Monday to elect one of the 10 candidates running. Advance voting was very popular last weekend. More than a quarter of the 63,000 registered voters (26.1 per cent) have already made their choice, representing 16,476 voters. That is almost twice the advance voting turnout for the byelection in the riding of Terrebonne, in the Lanaudière region, on March 17. The by-election in Arthabaska was triggered by the departure of CAQ MNA Eric Lefebvre, who made the jump to the federal level with Pierre Poilievre's Conservatives. The main candidates are Keven Brasseur (CAQ), Chantale Marchand (PLQ), Pascale Fortin (QS), Alex Boissonneault (PQ), and Éric Duhaime (PCQ). According to poll aggregator QC125, this byelection will be a close race between Boissonneault and Quebec Conservative Party leader Duhaime. The other candidates who have received authorization from Elections Quebec to run are Louis Chandonnet (Équipe autonomiste), Denis Gagné (independent), Trystan Martel (Climat Québec), Arpad Nagy (independent), and Éric Simard (Union nationale). This report by The Canadian Press was first published in French on Aug. 10, 2025.

(The Canadian Press/Ryan Remiorz) The by-election in Arthabaska, in the Centre-du-Québec region, is expected to be called officially on Tuesday by Quebec Premier François Legault, Noovo Info has learned. Voters are expected to be called to the polls on Aug. 11, and posters of the various candidates are already being installed throughout the riding. Legault's government had until September to call the by-election. The news comes a few days after the Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ) nominated Keven Brasseur as its candidate. He is slated to face off against Quebec Conservative Party (PCQ) Leader Éric Duhaime, Parti Québécois (PQ) candidate Alex Boissonneault and Québec Solidaire's Pascale Fortin. The Quebec Liberals (PLQ) have not named a candidate. Recent polls predict a close race between the Conservatives and the PQ, with the latter leading by one per cent in voting intentions.
