Quebec Solidaire now has two new faces at its helm, after Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois and Manon Masse received the majority of votes to become the next co-spokespeople for the party.
The party's annual convention was held over this weekend. Unlike many of its counterparts, Quebec Solidaire doesn't have a traditional leadership structure.
The pro-sovereignist, left-wing party instead appoints two spokespeople-- a man and a woman-- to spread party values and articulate its platforms.
Masse was serving as interim co-spokesperson for the party since Francoise David -- the longtime party leader and co-founder-- retired early due to health concerns.
Nadeau-Dubois gained attention as a student leader during the Maple Spring protests of 2012.
"This weekend we are finalizing our political program, the delegates have also elected two new spokespersons and I think it's really a sign that Quebec Solidaire is now walking directly towards governing Quebec in the next years," said Dubois.
In the 2014 provincial election, Quebec Solidaire finished with eight per cent of the popular vote, ranking fourth overall.
On Sunday the party voted against a possible alliance with the Parti Quebecois, ahead of the 2018 election.
Veronique Hivon said the party was surprised by the decision.
"Of course we're dissapointed but above all we are firmly convinced that it is the population of Quebec that are greatly dissapointed," she said. "Especially the progressives and the people who believe in the independence of Quebec."
