Vincent Marissal announced on Monday, August 24, 2026, that he will leave the Rosemont riding and seek election in the Taschereau riding of Montreal as a candidate for the Parti Québécois. The announcement was made public at 19:36:47 GMT.
Marissal, a former columnist for La Presse, has previously represented the Rosemont riding. His background includes work in journalism before entering provincial politics. The shift from Rosemont to Taschereau marks a change in the constituency he intends to represent.
The Taschereau riding is located within the city of Montreal, in the province of Quebec. By declaring his candidacy there, Marissal joins the Parti Québécois slate for the upcoming electoral contest in that district. No additional details about campaign strategy or opponent nominations were provided in the announcement.
The move comes as part of Marissal’s ongoing political career with the Parti Québécois. While his prior service was tied to Rosemont, the decision to contest Taschereau reflects a new focus on that Montreal area. The announcement was reported by La Presse, confirming Marissal’s intent to run under the Parti Québécois banner in the Taschereau riding.
Marissal’s transition from Rosemont to Taschereau adds a new dynamic to the Parti Québécois’ candidate lineup in Montreal. The party will now include a former journalist and former Rosemont representative as its nominee for the Taschereau district.
