Leader of the Quebec Conservative Party Éric Duhaime is running as a candidate in the byelection for Arthabaska, after the riding’s representative left to run for the federal Conservatives.

In April 2024, MNA for Arthabaska Éric Lefebvre announced he was leaving the Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ) to run for the federal Conservatives in the next election. “I have tendered my resignation to the premier, as I will be standing as a candidate for the Conservative Party of Canada in the next federal election,” he said in a statement.
