After eight years under Valérie Plante and her party Projet Montréal, Montrealers voted in favour of change.

Soraya Martinez Ferrada, who stepped down from her post as a federal cabinet minister to run for mayor, was projected to win with 43 per cent of the vote.

She beat out Luc Rabouin, Plante’s successor, by eight per cent. Her party won over several boroughs from Projet and appeared poised to take a majority of seats at city council.
