Quebec Premier François Legault resigns ahead of…


Quebec Premier François Legault announced his resignation Wednesday morning from the National Assembly.

Legault faced steep competition ahead of fall elections in the province, as his Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ) party fell in the polls while the Parti Québécois under Paul St-Pierre Plamondon rose to prominence.

The premier was elected for two majority mandates in 2018 and 2022.

Legault says he will stay in place as premier until the CAQ elects a new leader.
