US EditionTwo-way race emerges in Quebec byelection with Conservatives hoping for first seat
QUEBEC RIDING OF ARTHABASKA, AUG 7 – Conservative Leader Éric Duhaime aims to secure the party's first provincial seat in Arthabaska amid a tight contest against Parti Québécois, with the governing party losing ground.
- A high-stakes byelection is taking place Monday in the Quebec riding of Arthabaska, featuring Conservative Leader Éric Duhaime and a Parti Québécois candidate.
- The by-election was held due to the vacancy created after the sitting member from Coalition Avenir Québec stepped down earlier this year to pursue a candidacy with the federal Conservative Party.
- Duhaime, whose party failed to win any seats in the 2022 election, is in a close two-way race while the Parti Québécois seeks to maintain its momentum.
- Since 2012, the governing Coalition Avenir Québec has represented Arthabaska, but it now faces the prospect of a third byelection defeat within a span of under two years.
- This byelection outcome could affect party momentum ahead of the next provincial election set for October 2026 in Quebec.
