Paul St-Pierre Plamondon, the premier-designate of Quebec, is set to meet with outgoing Premier Christine Fréchette on Tuesday morning as part of the government transition process. The meeting is scheduled to kick off at 11 a.m. in Quebec City, with both leaders expected to address the media around 11:35 a.m.
This meeting comes just ahead of the swearing-in of PQ members of the National Assembly on Thursday, followed by the unveiling of the new cabinet on Oct. 21.
Following the recent election, St-Pierre Plamondon’s Parti Québécois secured a minority government mandate after winning 59 seats in the National Assembly. Meanwhile, the Quebec Liberal Party, with 40 members, will form the official opposition. The Conservative Party will hold 19 seats, and Québec Solidaire will have 9 representatives in the Assembly.
The election marked a significant shift, with the Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ), in power since 2018, failing to secure any seats. In response to her party’s defeat, Premier Fréchette took full responsibility on election night.
