Most of Montreal election results in
Most of the Montreal election results are now in.
Projet Montreal managed to snag one seat in the Côte-des-Neiges/NDG borough, preventing Gerald Tremblay's Union Montreal from a total sweep. Peter McQueen beat out Marie-José Mastromonaco in the NDG district. which used to be held by the mayor's brother Marcel Tremblay, who lost the mayoralty bid in the Villeray-St. Michel-Parc Extension borough. Michael Applebaum, Marvin Rotrand and Helen Fotopoulos were voted back in.
Tremblay's entire slate in Pierrefonds-Roxoboro was voted in, and it looks like Monique Worth will stay on as mayor.
And it looks like a loss for Tremblay's star candidate in Ahuntsic-Cartierville touted as a possible replacement for Frank Zampino as chairman of the executive committee.
Former PQ Minister Diane Lemieux is in third place after Projet Montreal's Émilie Thuillier and Vision Montreal's Frédéric Lapointe, with Thuillier ahead by only 140 votes, with 300 rejected ballots.
It's still a tight race in Rosemont-La Petite Patrie between candidates of Richard Bergeron's Projet Montreal and Louise Harel's Vision Montreal; that's where André Lavallée, Tremblay's vice chairman of the executive committee went down in flames.
Independent Céline Forget won in the Joseph-Beaubien district in Outremont; she's a former councillor known for her outspokeness about the way the city handled certain issues and bylaws linked to Outremont's sizeable Hassidic Jewish community and for her frequent run-ins with that community.
The breakdown for council so far, with 86% of ballots counted, goes like this:
Union Montreal: 38
Vision Montreal: 17
Projet Montreal: 10
