Alexandre Boulerice is reporting on Monday, April 27, 2026, to be stepping toward provincial politics with Québec solidaire, aiming to run in Gouin and leave his federal NDP seat. This marks a potential shift from federal to provincial campaigning for the Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie MP.[1][2][3]
Key points from recent coverage
- Boulerice is expected to announce his departure from the federal NDP and seek Québec solidaire’s nomination in the Gouin riding, currently held by Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois, who is retiring from politics.[1]
- The move would reduce the NDP’s Quebec representation to a handful of MPs, impacting the party's provincial and federal dynamics.[3]
- The announcements were anticipated around April 27, 2026, with events planned in Montreal to formalize his candidacy.[2][1]
What this could mean
- For Boulerice: a transition to provincial politics could position him to shape Québec solidaire’s platform in Montreal’s political landscape.[1]
- For Québec solidaire: Boulerice’s entry could strengthen QS’s slate in Montreal and influence the balance ahead of provincial elections.[2]
- For the NDP: losing Quebec’s sole federal MP could affect national prominence in Quebec and funding dynamics tied to seats.[3]
