Ruba Ghazal to be Quebec Solidaire’s co-spokesperson for women [Video]

Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois announced on Tuesday evening that Ruba Ghazal, a Member of the National Assembly (MNA) for Quebec Solidaire, will become the female co-spokesperson for Quebec Solidaire in November.

“On Nov. 16, we will experience a historic moment,” Nadeau-Dubois wrote on social media. “For the first time in our history, a ‘child of Bill 101’ will lead a political party in the National Assembly. This fills me with hope, and I want to share why.”

Starting next month, the MNA for Mercier will join Nadeau-Dubois as part of the leadership team.

“It’s official: Ruba is the only candidate to become the female spokesperson for Quebec Solidaire,” he added.

“This may take away some excitement from our congress in November, but it’s a significant show of confidence in her.”

She will succeed Émilise Lessard-Therrien, who had taken over after Manon Massé stepped down.
