Today, voters go to the polls for a closely monitoring Quebec intersection time election in which the leader of the Provincial Conservative Party fights to win his first legislative chair.
Conservative leader Éric Duhaime seems to be in a close two -way race with the sovereintist Parti Québécois candidate in the Quebec Riding of Arthabaska.
The interim election was activated after Coalition Avenir Québec member resigned Éric Lefebvre to successfully run for the Conservative Party of Canada in the latest federal elections.
The reigning coalition Avenir Québec has held driving since 2012, but seems ready to lose its third consecutive election in less than two years.
