'More proud! More rich!': Legault wins 2022 Quebec election with a majority government
with 36 per cent of the vote with 164 polls reporting.
Yannick Gagnon easily won the seat in Jonquière with 60 per cent of the vote -- the seat was left vacant after veteran PQ MNA Sylvain Gaudreault bowed out of the race. Legault spent part of the day Monday in the Quebec City area asking voters to throw their support behind his party. The CAQ campaign was rocky at times with a few gaffes by the incumbent premier, though they did not seem to sway voters away from the party in large numbers. On two occasions, Legault was forced to apologize for comments he had made on the campaign trail. In one instance, the CAQ leader said he was sorry for drawing parallels between immigrants and "violence" and "extremists."
