Ensemble Montréal Resumes its Leadership Race

Ensemble Montréal leadership race

Ensemble Montréal today announced the resumption of its leadership race, opening a nomination period from February 4 to 28, 2025, for candidates seeking to represent the political party. The new party leader, who will be the mayoral candidate for Montreal, will be elected by the Party’s Montreal-based members during an Investiture Congress on April 6, 2025.

“The strategic pause chosen by Ensemble Montréal has been beneficial for the Party. The past weeks have been marked by productive exchanges, and the Montreal political scene will be extremely dynamic in the coming months. The Party’s future is now in the hands of our members, but one thing is certain: this leadership race will captivate and mobilize all Montrealers!” says Aref Salem, interim leader of Ensemble Montréal.

To be eligible, potential candidates must, among other requirements, collect signatures from 200 members, including at least 100 new members from at least 10 boroughs. They must also raise $15,000 in donations or memberships for the Party.

Potential candidates are invited to announce their candidacy publicly, with the understanding that their nomination must receive official endorsement from the Board of Directors to be considered valid.

“This leadership race represents a genuine opportunity for Ensemble Montréal to revitalize our leadership and strategically address the complex challenges confronting our metropolis,” says Carmine Pollice, Ensemble Montréal’s president. “Together, we aim to advance our vision for a more unified city, with a management approach centered on the priorities of our citizens. We are excited to see the innovative proposals from candidates and how they will inspire Montrealers during this pivotal moment for our Party.”
