Parti Québécois leader, Pauline Marois, seemed pretty optimistic as she appeared to cast vote in her home riding on the election day, greeting election workers and alleging reporters that she’s gearing up for victory. While outside a voting office in Beaupré, i.e. a town of 3,500 at the foot of Mont-Sainte-Anne, about 40 km northeast of Quebec City, Marois stated that “I am very serene at this moment” and added that “I have confidence in Quebecers, that they will choose a good government to lead them, and I have confidence for tonight.”
The election campaign for the PQ leader concluded in the riding of Charlevoix-Côte-de-Beaupré on Sunday, i.e. where she’s held a seat since 2007. Despite the optimism expressed by Marois on Election Day, there are still almost equal chances to succeed for the leaders of the Liberal party and Coalition Avenir Québec. Including the ridings of the three leaders, there are plenty other ridings that are anticipated to have a close race. According to the latest polls until the voting day, the Liberals had a clear lead among others, whereas François Legault’s centre-right CAQ party illustrated a late surge in support, especially among francophone voters.
Analysts predict that at least 20 ridings are inconclusive at this point. Leaders of the PQ government including health minister, Réjean Hébert, and the minister of aboriginal affairs, Elizabeth Larouche, are among those who will have fierce competition with Liberal challengers, along with some ridings that are expected to have three-way races as results come in Monday night.
