GACMONTREAL - Voters are heading to the polls today for a closely watched Quebec byelection in which the leader of the provincial Conservative party is vying to win his first legislature seat.
Conservative Leader Éric Duhaime appears to be in a close two-way race with the sovereigntist Parti Québécois candidate in the Quebec riding of Arthabaska.
The byelection was triggered after Coalition Avenir Québec member Éric Lefebvre resigned to run successfully for the Conservative Party of Canada in the last federal election.
The governing Coalition Avenir Québec has held the riding since 2012 but appears poised to lose its third-straight byelection in less than two years.
Duhaime is hoping to enter the national assembly after his party failed to win a seat in the 2022 election.
He's facing off against nine other people including Parti Québécois candidate Alex Boissonneault and the Coalition Avenir Québec's Keven Brasseur.
