Quebec Premier François Legault unexpectedly announced his resignation, coinciding with a poor poll showing for his party, the Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ), which is projected to face significant losses in the upcoming election. Legault, who cited the party’s and Quebec’s best interests, will remain until a successor is found. His departure comes amid mounting challenges, including a historic budget deficit and declining popularity, marking a tumultuous year for his government. The current political landscape shows the separatist Parti Québécois leading in support, further complicating the CAQ’s future.
