The Quebec Liberal Party filed a legal challenge on Nov 9, 2026, contesting the judicial recount result in the Vachon riding on Montreal’s South Shore that awarded the Parti Québécois a three‑vote victory.
On election night, Liberal candidate Affine Lwalalika was declared winner by a margin of 10 votes. A subsequent judicial recount reversed that outcome, showing Parti Québécois candidate Stephan Fogaing ahead by three votes, prompting the Liberals to seek overturning the recount.
The party’s filing aims to reverse the recount outcome that changed the initial result.
