Quebec separatists vowing independence vote win provincial election but fall short of majority | CNN

The Parti Québécois (PQ) won Quebec’s provincial election on Monday, but fell short of the 64 seats needed to govern alone in the 127-member National Assembly. The result brings Paul St-Pierre Plamondon’s party back to power for the first time in more than a decade, yet forces it into a minority government and to rely on opposition lawmakers to pass key legislation and survive confidence votes. With final counts still in progress, PQ was tracking for nearly 60 seats. St-Pierre Plamondon said voters asked the party to work with others and promised to pursue another independence referendum, timing it to wait until US President Donald Trump leaves office. Former premier Christine Fréchette conceded defeat.
