Incumbent Alexandre Leduc of Québec solidaire maintains a modest edge in trader consensus for the Hochelaga-Maisonneuve seat ahead of the October 5 Quebec general election. As the sitting MNA since 2018 in this Montreal riding, Leduc benefits from established local work on housing cooperatives, community initiatives, and labor issues that align with the district’s left-leaning base. PQ candidate Maude Brossard-Sabourin, a longtime resident and social-economy executive, draws support from renewed provincial momentum for the party and emphasis on sovereignty alongside social justice. The presence of Liberal, CAQ, and Conservative nominees fragments remaining support, sustaining the narrow contest between the two leading contenders. Late-campaign polling shifts, turnout among younger or sovereigntist voters, or any riding-specific developments could widen the gap before election night.
