Quebec general election, 1952
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Quebec general election of 1952 was held on July 16, 1952 to elect members of the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Quebec, Canada. The incumbent Union Nationale, led by Maurice Duplessis, won re-election, defeating the Quebec Liberal Party, led by Georges-Émile Lapalme.
This was the fourth time (and the third in a row) that Duplessis led his party to a general election victory.
The number of seats won by the Liberals, and their share of the popular vote, were considerably increased over the previous election in 1948.
