The Quebec Liberal Party announced on August 11, 2026 that Sébastien Daoust will be its candidate in the provincial riding of Blainville. The party’s decision was made public in a statement released from its headquarters in Quebec City, confirming Daoust’s placement on the ballot for the next provincial election.
Daoust comes to the candidacy after a career that began in the business sector and later shifted to the wine industry. He spent several years working in various business roles before launching his own wine venture, where he served as an entrepreneur and manager. His experience in both corporate environments and small‑business ownership is highlighted as part of his professional profile.
The Liberal Party’s nomination of Daoust adds a new face to its slate of candidates across the province. While the party has not released a detailed platform for the Blainville riding, the selection aligns with its broader effort to present candidates with diverse professional backgrounds. Daoust’s background in entrepreneurship is expected to resonate with voters who prioritize economic development and local business growth.
The Blainville riding, located in the Laurentides region north of Montreal, will see a contest among several parties as the province approaches its scheduled election later in the year. The Liberal Party’s choice of Daoust follows a series of nominations announced over the past weeks in neighboring ridings.
Daoust’s campaign will be organized by the local Liberal riding association, which will coordinate outreach and voter engagement activities in the coming months. The party has indicated that resources will be allocated to support his efforts to connect with constituents and present the Liberal platform on key issues affecting the region.
