Pierre-Luc Brillant has announced that he will once more represent the Parti Québécois as its candidate in the Rosemont riding of Montreal. The declaration was made on Saturday, August 8, 2026, confirming Brillant’s intention to contest the next provincial election under the PQ banner.
Brillant previously contested the Rosemont seat in the 2022 provincial election. In that contest he placed third, finishing behind the candidates from Québec solidaire and the Coalition Avenir Québec. His third‑place result in 2022 is the most recent electoral performance on record for the PQ in that riding.
The Rosemont riding, situated within the city of Montreal, has seen competition among the three parties mentioned: the Parti Québécois, Québec solidaire and the Coalition Avenir Québec. Brillant’s renewed candidacy signals the PQ’s continued effort to regain ground in the constituency after the 2022 outcome.
No additional details about campaign strategy, policy focus or voter outreach have been released at this time. The announcement simply reiterates Brillant’s role as the PQ’s standard‑bearer in Rosemont for the upcoming election cycle.
The upcoming campaign will follow the typical provincial election timetable, with parties fielding candidates across Quebec’s ridings. Rosemont’s voters will again be presented with choices from the PQ, QS and CAQ, among other parties that may nominate candidates.
Brillant’s decision to run again comes as the Parti Québécois seeks to improve its standing province‑wide, aiming to build on past performances and challenge the leading parties in key urban ridings such as Rosemont. The next election date has not yet been set, but the candidacy announcement positions the PQ early in the lead‑up to the campaign period.
The PQ’s official channels have confirmed Brillant’s nomination, and the party’s local riding association will coordinate campaign activities in the weeks ahead.
