Elections in 2026! Ruba Ghazal Will Run for Prime Minister and Will ...
Ruba Ghazal will be the Québec solidaire (QS) candidate for the position of Prime Minister and will go to the chiefs' debate in the next general election in 2026.
ground.newsHere’s the latest I can gather based on recent public reporting:
- Ruba Ghazal has been active in Quebec Solidaire (QS). In 2024, she was announced as QS’s spokesperson candidate, with subsequent coverage noting her role and leadership trajectory within the party. A related piece from late 2024 mentions QS appointing Ghazal as a female co-spokesperson in November, highlighting ongoing leadership developments within the party.[1][5]
- Looking ahead to 2026, several sources in 2025 and 2024-25 indicate Ghazal’s continued prominence in QS and discussions about her candidacy for premier or leadership debates in the province’s federal or provincial contexts. One report explicitly states that Ghazal would be the QS candidate for premier in the 2026 general election and participate in leaders’ debates.[2][4]
- For broader context, Ghazal is a member for Mercier in the National Assembly with QS and has been described as a leading figure within the party’s feminist and inclusive nationalism platform.[3][7]
If you’d like, I can narrow this to a particular jurisdiction (Québec provincial politics vs. federal-level discussions) or pull the most recent updates from specific outlets. I can also summarize the timeline of her roles within QS (spokesperson candidate, co-spokesperson, and premier candidate) with precise dates.
