Québec Solidaire’s Ruba Ghazal Projected to Win Riding
The projection would make Ghazal the first Muslim woman elected to Quebec’s legislature, after she won the seat in 2018 and was re-elected in 2022.
- On Monday, The Canadian Press decision desk projected that Québec solidaire co-spokesperson Ruba Ghazal will win her Montreal-area riding of Mercier in the Quebec provincial general election.
- Ghazal first entered the legislature after winning the riding in 2018 and secured re-election in 2022, establishing her as an incumbent seeking to retain her seat.
- As a founding member of the left-wing sovereigntist party in 2006, Ghazal helped establish Québec solidaire alongside Françoise David and Amir Khadir, shaping the party's early direction.
- Born in Lebanon in 1977 to a family of Palestinian refugees, Ghazal arrived in Quebec at age 10 and grew up between Montreal and Laval before her political career.
- Voters in Mercier cast their ballots Monday during the Quebec provincial general election, where Ghazal sought to maintain her seat and extend her legislative tenure.
