According to our information, Harley Lounsbury’s application was rejected due to errors in filling the application form.
Minutes after the rejection announcement, a visibly shaken Liberal leader Dominique Anglade announced the party’s legal team would study the possibility of challenging the Quebec chief electoral officer’s decision.
“I don’t have the details and we’re going to have internal conversations…serious internal conversations, but I don’t have details about that,” she said of the late afternoon press scrum.
The Liberal leader described the situation as “unacceptable”.
The party filed six candidates on Saturday, the deadline to formalize everything.
The formation had to hold a sprint in the final days to confirm its candidates. On Wednesday, 73 of the 125 names were confirmed. The next day, the PLQ officially announced 91 candidates in the fray.
