An unconventional municipal election campaign in politically disgraced Laval, Que., which is already stained by allegations of criminal threats and thuggery, went through another notch of strange on Friday. Campaign manager of one of the party’s suddenly announced to quit from his position only a few days after he alleged to have been assaulted. Option Laval party’s Reny Gagnon previously alleged to have been beaten up on Monday, and consequently gained considerable public sympathy and brought his party immense attention.

In addition to the copious media coverage received due to the allegations of being beaten up, his party also made public a recording of controversial ex-mayor Gilles Vaillancourt few hours before the incident. In the phone call recording, the ex-mayor can be heard offering financial assistance to the Option Laval mayoral bid. Despite all this drama leading up to the elections on Nov. 3, Gagnon suddenly decided to resign from his position in light of a recent media report that suggested provincial police are wondering whether his story was made up, and were investigating him for mischief.

Consequently, in a statement released on Friday, Gagnon declared that he is temporarily quitting the party headed by Claire Le Bel because he doesn’t want to hinder its campaign. He stated that “my personal and professional commitment in recent years are based on two pillars, integrity and ethics.” It was added that “I think Madame Le Bel must be allowed to campaign on these qualities which she also possesses and the doubts raised (about me) are a distraction for her and the Option Laval party.”
