Pierre-Luc Brillant has confirmed that he will once again seek the Parti Québécois nomination to represent the Rosemont riding in the upcoming provincial election. The announcement was made on Saturday, August 8, 2026, and signals Brillant's continued effort to regain ground for the PQ in the Montreal constituency.
Brillant previously contested the Rosemont seat in the 2022 provincial election, where he finished in third place. The two candidates who placed ahead of him were from Québec solidaire and the Coalition Avenir Québec, respectively. His third‑place finish in that race provides the baseline from which he will measure any future progress.
The Rosemont riding, located within the city of Montreal, has been a competitive district in recent elections, with the PQ, QS, and CAQ each fielding strong candidates. Brillant's decision to run again indicates the party's intention to maintain a presence in the area despite the previous outcome. While no new policy positions or campaign strategies have been disclosed, his candidacy reaffirms the PQ's commitment to contesting the seat.
The upcoming campaign will see Brillant facing opponents from Québec solidaire and the Coalition Avenir Québec once more, as those parties also plan to field candidates in the riding. Voters in Rosemont will have the opportunity to compare the platforms and track records of the three parties as the election approaches.
Brillant's repeat candidacy underscores the party's resolve to challenge the leading parties in Rosemont and to work toward improving its standing in future polls. The election timeline and additional candidate announcements are expected in the weeks ahead, providing further details on the race dynamics in this Montreal constituency.
