Daniel Gobeil, ancien président des Producteurs de lait du Québec, deviendra député libéral de la circonscription Chicoutimi—Le Fjord.

Alexandre Boulerice, député du NPD, se présente aux élections provinciales au Québec pour Québec solidaire à Montréal. 

Simon-Pierre Savard-Tremblay, député du Bloc québécois, se présente aux élections provinciales pour le Parti québécois en Montérégie.
