Quebec Liberals choose Pablo Rodriguez as new leader of party
QUEBEC — The Quebec Liberals have elected former federal Liberal MP Pablo Rodriguez as the new leader of their party.
On the second round of voting because no candidate achieved a majority of 50 per cent plus one in the first, Rodriguez narrowly beat out his last contender, Charles Milliard, the former president of the Fédération des chambre de commerce du Québec, on Saturday.
Rodriguez, who had been considered the front-runner in the contest over the last weeks, won the leadership with 195,473 points or 52.3 per cent of the vote.
Milliard was not far behind, earning 178,527 points or 47.7 per cent of the vote.
