- Quebec general election, 1973
The Quebec general election of 1973 was held on
October 29 ,1973 to elect members to National Assembly of the Province ofQuebec ,Canada . The incumbentQuebec Liberal Party , led byRobert Bourassa , won re-election, defeating the "Parti Québécois ", led byRené Lévesque , and the "Union Nationale" (UN).The Liberals won a large majority of the seats (102 out of 110). The "Union Nationale," which had held power up until the previous 1970 general election, was wiped off the electoral map, winning no seats. However, UN candidate
Maurice Bellemare later won a seat in a 1974by-election . The "Parti Québécois" held its own, dropping only one seat (from seven to six), and despite having fewer seats, became the official Opposition although PQ leaderRené Lévesque failed to re-gain his seat in the Assembly.The popular vote was not as lopsided as the distribution of seats would indicate. The Parti Québécois, for instance, won 30% of the popular vote, a significant improvement over their previous showing of 23% in the 1970 election.
