Maude Marquis-Bissonnette back in mayoral seat ahead of Mario Aubé in nail-biting race


Sophie Demers



Maude Marquis-Bissonnette, leader of Action Gatineau, was re-elected Sunday night after a tight race with opponent Mario Aubé. For most of the evening, the race between Aubé and incumbent Mayor Marquis-Bissonnette was too close to call. Despite a divided vote, Action Gatineau pulled ahead late Sunday night, prompting Aubé, leader of Équipe Mario Aubé, to concede after results from 80 of 100 polling stations had been tallied.


Marquis-Bissonnette won with 41,569 votes (51.14%) while Mario Aubé received 38,208 votes (47%). Independent candidate Rémi Bergeron received 1,518 votes (1.87%).


A total of 82,257 Gatineau residents cast their vote representing 41.18% voter turnout.
