The Parti Québécois fielded a full slate of 125 candidates in the 1989 Quebec general election. Twenty-nine of the party's candidates were elected, which allowed the party to retain its position as the official opposition in the National Assembly of Quebec.

Electoral divisions

Brome—Missisquoi: Daniel Lavoie

Daniel Lavoie received 6,238 votes (25.03%), finishing second against Liberal Party incumbent Pierre Paradis.[1]

Prior to the 1989 election, a newspaper report about factional infighting in the Union Nationale listed Daniel Lavoie as a party member. It is possible that this was the same person.[2]

Jean-Talon: Martine Hébert

Martine Hébert received 12,272 votes (40.39%) for a second-place finish against Liberal Party incumbent Gil Rémillard.[3] A candidate named Martine Hébert ran for Vision Montreal in the 2009 Montreal municipal election; it is not known if this was the same person.

Nicolet-Yamaska: Guy Vachon

Guy Vachon has been a candidate of both the Parti Québécois and the federal Parti nationaliste du Québec. In 1984, he identified as a teaching consultant.[4]

In 1985, an individual named Guy Vachon was listed as both the regional director of the Parti Québécois for Trois-Rivières and the regional co-ordinator of Pierre-Marc Johnson's successful bid to become party leader.[5] It is assumed that this is the same person as the political candidate.
