Jean Charest Quebec Liberal Party
Pauline Marois Parti Québécois
The Quebec general election of 2012 took place in the Canadian province of Quebec on September 4, 2012. Lieutenant Governor Pierre Duchesne dissolved the National Assembly on August 1, 2012, following Premier Jean Charest's request.[1] The Parti Québécois were elected to a minority government, with Pauline Marois becoming the first woman to be Premier of Quebec. The Quebec Liberal Party took second place, with Premier Jean Charest losing his seat. The newly formed party Coalition Avenir Québec led by François Legault took third place, while Québec solidaire took 2 seats out of the 125.[2]
It is the first time since 2007 (and only the third time in Quebec history) that a minority government will be formed because no party won an absolute majority of the seats. Both the PQ and Liberal vote declined which boosted support for the CAQ and Quebec Solidaire.
During Marois' victory speech, an attack including gunshots and a fire occurred at the Métropolis concert hall housing the event[3] and a forty-year-old man died as a result of gunshot wounds.[4][5]
Coalition Avenir Québec
Independent
