Antoine Dionne Charest, son of former premier Jean Charest, intends to run under the banner of the Quebec Liberal Party in the next election.
Mr. Dionne Charest, who has been active in the PLQ for several years, made the announcement during an interview on LCN on Monday.
“I would like to be a candidate in the next election. Like many young people in Quebec, I love Quebec, I love Quebec politics and I think we could do better, economically, on identity and the Constitution. I would like to be a candidate in 2026,” he said while he was there to defend the Liberal project for a Quebec Constitution.
Mr. Dionne Charest did not want to comment on the constituency he will be seeking in the next provincial election, which is to be held on October 5, 2026.
In addition to being president of the firm ADC Conseil and a political commentator, Antoine Dionne Charest has been an active member of the PLQ for several years.
He is notably a member of the Committee on the revival of the Quebec Liberal Party (PLQ) and vice-president of the party’s National Political Commission, which forms the first opposition in the National Assembly.
