Quebec Premier François Legault says he is taking Monday’s byelection loss to the Parti Québécois with humility.

Legault’s Coalition Avenir Québec finished fourth in the Arthabaska riding with seven percent of the vote—down from the 52 percent the party collected in the district in the 2022 general election.
