In Hochelaga-Maisonneuve, the Quebec general election on October 5, 2026, features a tight contest between incumbent Alexandre Leduc of Québec solidaire and Maude Brossard-Sabourin of the Parti Québécois. Leduc, first elected in 2018, has focused on local priorities such as cooperative housing, community spaces, and social services. Brossard-Sabourin, announced as PQ candidate in May 2026, brings experience in social economy management and emphasizes territorial roots in the riding. Projections from models like 338Canada describe the seat as a toss-up, reflecting QS strength in recent cycles alongside PQ efforts to regain ground in Montreal ridings. Other candidates from the Liberals, CAQ, and Conservatives trail significantly. Factors that could shift momentum include turnout among progressive and sovereignist voters, visibility of local issues like housing and transit, and any late provincial polling trends before nomination closes on September 17.
