NDP MP Alexandre Boulerice has announced he will leave his party to run provincially for Québec solidaire, a move that will reduce the NDP’s seat count to five.

In his April 27 announcement, Boulerice said he will sit as an independent until the Quebec’s provincial election in October, when he will run in the Montreal riding of Gouin, currently represented by Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois of Québec solidaire. Nadeau-Dubois announced in March 2025 that he would not seek re-election in the next general election.
