Quebec Liberal Leader Dominique Anglade resigns month after election | National Newswatch
MONTREAL — Dominique Anglade, the first Black woman to lead a major Quebec political party, resigned as Liberal leader on Monday, five weeks after her party suffered a crushing defeat in the provincial election.
Her leadership had been under pressure since the party elected just 21 members in the Oct. 3 election — down from 31 in the 2018 vote. The party maintained official Opposition status but saw its share of the popular vote drop to less than 15 per cent, receiving fewer votes than Québec solidaire and the Parti Québécois. In recent weeks, current and past members of the party had come out — some anonymously — to question her authority and say she no longer had the confidence of members.
"The Liberal party has to renew its political offer but also its way of doing politics, and we don't have the luxury of being undermined by internal intrigues."
