Denis Coderre, a federal MP who made a bold move of surrendering his role in Ottawa in exchange to run for the top seat at Montreal’s beleaguered city hall, has finally achieved victory in latest elections. Unofficial reports confirmed his lead on election night, after which Mr. Coderre eventually managed 31.8 per cent of the vote for his victory.
After the news of his victory broke out, Coderre requested all those elected to council from the four leading municipal parties to remain non-partisanship. Speaking to a public gathering to celebrate his victory, Coderre alleged that “we are at the crossroads right now,” and “I will be the mayor of all Montrealers … I will need them to say that from now, we won’t define Montreal as different territories. We are all Montrealers.” Overall, Coderre’s team is anticipated to secure an estimate of 27 seats on Montreal council.
The same party which took third place in the 2009 election, Projet Montreal had now set goal to achieve official opposition status at city hall with a projected 22 seats. Even though Projet Montreal leader, Richard Bergeron, has failed his mayoral bid, he may still have a way onto council after Janine Krieber, Bergeron’s candidate designate, won her race in Montreal’s Ville-Marie borough by an unofficial margin of 48 votes. Bergeron stated that “if Mr. Coderre and his majority … want to go in the right direction,” “our political party will help them to fulfill the projects that remain on our minds as we work together on city council for Montrealers.”
