The Canadian Press decision desk is projecting Parti Québécois Leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon will win his Montreal-area riding of Camille-Laurin.

St-Pierre Plamondon has represented the area in the Quebec legislature since 2022.

The riding was previously known as Bourget and is located in the east-end of Montreal.

The riding includes a homeless encampment located close to the St-Lawrence River where police reported finding a baby in the middle of the election campaign.

St-Pierre Plamondon was elected as leader of the PQ in 2020, winning the leadership campaign after promising to hold a referendum if the party formed government.

He has previously worked as a corporate lawyer at Stikeman Elliott.
