Marwah Rizqy booted from Quebec Liberal caucus amid crisis in party

On Tuesday, Quebec Liberal Leader Pablo Rodriguez expelled Marwah Rizqy, MNA and former parliamentary leader, from the party caucus, saying she broke his trust and lacked loyalty.
Last month, Marwah Rizqy, MNA and former parliamentary leader, fired Geneviève Hinse, former chief of staff, without consulting Rodriguez and refused to explain the dismissal.
Rizqy said she will continue to serve constituents as an Independent member of the legislature, asserting she has always acted with dedication and rigour, while Rodriguez reached out to Greg Kelley, offering support.
The party is now facing media allegations that Québecor published text-message and donation claims tied to the leadership race Rodriguez won earlier this year, prompting Rodriguez to open an investigation while The Canadian Press has not verified the claims.
Anti-Corruption police are probing the Quebec Liberals as the crisis intensifies, and observers warn this turmoil boosts Parti Québécois chances while the leadership race Rodriguez won earlier this year faces scrutiny.
