Hours after Paul St-Pierre Plamondon was sworn in as premier of Quebec, his party wrested the South Shore riding of Vachon from the Liberals after a judicial recount overturned a razor-thin result in the Oct. 5 election.
PQ candidate Stephan Fogaing, a former Quebec government economic development adviser with an educational background in aerospace, won by just three votes over Liberal Affine Lwalalika. Lwalalika had initially been declared the winner by a margin of 10 votes.
