L'Allier defeated Civic Progress candidate Jean-Francois Bertrand by a fairly significant margin.
[1] Former Liberal Party of Canada Member of Parliament (MP) Raymond Savard was elected to his second term as mayor in the on-island Montreal suburb of Verdun, easily defeating opponents Jean-Marie Demers and Robert Mailhot.
[2] Most elected councillors were from Savard's Regroupement des citoyens de Verdun party.
(The first two sources erroneously list Savard's mayoral opponent Demers as the leader of the Regroupement des citoyens de Verdun.
This is contradicted by other sources, and, indeed, the second La Presse article indicates that Savard's party won a majority on council.)
