MONTREAL — The governing Coalition Avenir Québec has changed its official name to feature new leader Christine Fréchette ahead of the October general election.
According to a notice from Élections Québec dated July 9, the political party is now Équipe Christine Fréchette – Coalition avenir Québec.
The party’s official website no longer displays the Coalition Avenir Québec name, showing only Fréchette’s and its logo.
Speaking to journalists at a news conference in Longueuil, Que., the premier said the name change signals that the party is different under her leadership.
