Montrealers have chosen former Liberal Tourism Minister Soraya Martinez Ferrada as their new mayor in a vote that toppled the city’s more left-leaning government after eight years in power.
Martinez Ferrada, a former Chilean refugee and leader of the Ensemble Montréal, is replacing outgoing Mayor Valérie Plante, who announced last year she would not pursue a third term at the helm of Projet Montréal.
