Gatineau mayor Maude Marquis-Bissonnette won re-election in a close fought race on Sunday, securing her first full-term in office.
Marquis-Bissonnette, who lead the Action Gatineau municipal party, won with just over 51 per cent of the vote, narrowly eclipsing Mario Aubé of the Équipe Mario Aubé, who drew the support of 47 per cent of voters.
Rémi Bergeron finished a distant third with just under 2 per cent.
The vote was held concurrently with elections in all of Quebec’s municipalities.
Former federal Liberal cabinet minister Soraya Martinez Ferrada was elected mayor of Montreal, succeeding Valerie Plante, who opted against running for a third term.
Further east, Bruno Marchand won re-election as mayor of Quebec City.
Marquis-Bissonnette was first elected mayor of Gatineau in a June 2024 byelection, replacing France Bélisle, who resigned earlier that year citing a toxic political environment and death threats.
