The Liberals unsurprisingly won clear victories in two Montreal-based districts: For the first time ever, an ADQ candidate other than Mario Dumont was sent to the National Assembly of Quebec: François Corriveau won the election in the district of Saguenay, one of the Parti Québécois's traditional strongholds.
[1] Elections were held in the Quebec provincial electoral districts of Berthier, Joliette, Lac-Saint-Jean and Vimont.
They resulted in the election of three ADQ and one PQ Member to the National Assembly of Quebec.
For the first time ever, the ADQ, which received 45% of the popular vote saw its representation at the provincial legislature increased to five MNAs, with the addition of François Gaudreau (Vimont), Marie Grégoire (Berthier) and Sylvie Lespérance (Joliette) to their delegation.
The by-elections took place at a time when the ADQ was enjoying a high level of popularity throughout Quebec.
