PQ's promised referendum targeted as Quebec election campaign enters final stretch
- On Monday, October 5, 2026, the Parti Québécois won the Quebec provincial election, with The Canadian Press projecting the party will form the next government and Leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon will become the next premier of Quebec.
- Rising from 14 per cent support in the 2022 vote, the party's steady ascent followed four consecutive byelection wins, including the first in Jean-Talon in 2023, marking a dramatic resurgence.
- St-Pierre Plamondon campaigned on sovereignty, pledging a referendum to separate Quebec from Canada while proposing to increase health funding by $550 million and extend Bill 101 to CEGEPs.
- Ending eight years of Coalition Avenir Québec majority governments, Quebec Conservatives celebrated a historic milestone as their leader, Éric Duhaime, was declared elected in a riding south of Quebec City.
- Results show the party led in more than 60 ridings, though it remains unclear if the government will be a majority or minority. St-Pierre Plamondon pledged to delay any independence referendum until after Donald Trump leaves office.
