Parti Québécois leader aiming for a majority with election days away
Paul St-Pierre Plamondon says a majority is needed to implement the Parti Québécois program as the party leads polls before the vote.
With the provincial election approaching on Oct 5, 2026, Leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon is asking voters to grant him a majority government as the Parti maintains its lead in polls.
During morning interviews on CJAD and Radio-Canada today, St-Pierre Plamondon argued that a minority government would "handcuff" his administration, emphasizing the need for a stable majority.
The leader stated he needs a majority to "get things done" and "reverse the damage" from eight years of Coalition Avenir leadership. This mandate is essential for implementing his program.
Meanwhile, Liberal Leader Charles Milliard is campaigning to shore up support in the Eastern Townships, while Ruba Ghazal is in Montreal pitching a plan to ban winter evictions.
Quebecers are scheduled to head to the polls on Oct 5, 2026, to decide the province's government in the final days of a campaign showing the Parti ahead.
