Separatists Win Quebec Election: Parti Québécois to Form Minority Government

The separatist Parti Québécois (PQ) has won the provincial election in Quebec, as reported by Radio-Canada and Dutch newspaper NRC. Party leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon will head a new minority government.

According to NRC, the separatist victory poses a challenge to Canadian Prime Minister Carney. The party has pledged to pursue a new referendum on secession from Canada, though it noted that the move would wait until US President Donald Trump leaves office.

Further details regarding the composition of the new government and the final seat tally have not yet been released.
