Quebec provincial by-elections, April 15, 2002
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Quebec by-elections of April 15, 2002 were held in the Quebec provincial electoral districts of Anjou, Saguenay and Viger. They resulted in the election of two Liberals and one ADQ Member to the National Assembly of Quebec.
The Liberals unsurprisingly won clear victories in two Montreal-based districts:
- Lise Thériault in Anjou;
- Anna Mancuso in Viger;
For the first time ever, an ADQ candidate other than Mario Dumont was sent to the National Assembly of Quebec: François Corriveau won the election in the district of Saguenay, one of the Parti Quebecois's traditional strongholds. Corriveau's showing temporarily boosted the ADQ's poll numbers and led to another series of ADQ by-election victories two months later, on June 17, 2002. [1]
