Parti Québécois expected to win Chicoutimi byelection

The Parti Québécois has won the Chicoutimi byelection, marking its fourth consecutive byelection victory as the province approaches the general election in October. Marie-Karlynn Laflamme received over 45% of the votes, significantly ahead of the Conservative Party’s Catherine Morissette. This riding, previously held by the Coalition Avenir Québec, has been vacant since former cabinet minister Andrée Laforest left for a mayoral bid. The PQ now holds seven seats in the National Assembly, an increase from the last election.
