TROIS-RIVIÈRES — Quebec Premier Christine Fréchette has confirmed she is switching ridings and will run to represent her hometown of Trois-Rivières, Que., in the fall general election.
Fréchette told a gathering today she’ll compete in the Trois-Rivières riding vacated by Labour Minister Jean Boulet, who has announced he’s leaving politics.
The premier was introduced by her partner, Guy Nadeau, who said he’d be taking a leave of absence from the finance world to support her.
Fréchette has represented the Sanguinet riding south of Montreal since 2022.
