Quebec premier-designate Christine Fréchette under tight deadline to redefine CAQ
Pollster Qc125 says the CAQ is on track to win zero seats, giving Fréchette a little more than five months to revive the party.
- Over the weekend, Christine Fréchette defeated Bernard Drainville with 58% of the vote to become the new leader of the Coalition Avenir Québec , replacing François Legault.
- The CAQ faces a precarious future as polling aggregator Qc125 predicts zero seats in the October 5 election, giving Fréchette just over five months to restore the party's appeal to Quebecers.
- Former colleagues describe Fréchette as "studious" and someone who "knows her files," citing her tenure leading the Chambre de commerce de l'Est de Montréal and prior immigration and economy portfolios under Legault.
- Political scientist Éric Bélanger notes the CAQ must distinguish itself from Liberal Leader Charles Milliard while fending off the Parti Québécois and Conservatives courting disaffected voters.
- "I'm extending a hand to all Quebecers who want to rethink the bureaucratic model," Fréchette said. She will be sworn in before the legislature resumes next month.
