Separatist PQ to Form Minority Government in Quebec
The Parti Québécois (PQ) has won Quebec’s Oct. 5 election and will form a minority government under leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon. The result marks a major comeback for the party, which won just three seats in the 2022 election. The PQ won 59 seats, five short of the 64 required for a majority government. The Quebec Liberals finished second with 40 seats, followed by the Quebec Conservatives with 19 and Québec solidaire with nine. The incumbent Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ) was shut out of the legislature, without any seats. The last time the PQ formed government was Pauline Marois’s brief, two-year minority administration from 2012 to 2014.
