The Quebec Liberals have named Marc Tanguay as their interim leader following the resignation of Pablo Rodriguez this week.
Tanguay was appointed interim leader after former leader Dominique Anglade stepped down in November 2022, and remained in the post until Rodriguez was elected in June.

Party President Rafael P. Ferraro says Tanguay's experience and judgment make him the right person to provide stability as the Liberals prepare for a new leader.
Rodriguez resigned this week amid allegations of vote-buying and diverted donations during his re-election campaign earlier this year, although he insists he did nothing wrong.
The party says the executive council will meet in the coming days to decide how a permanent leader will be selected.
Tange says the party must “embody progress” and that the Liberals will be ready for elections next year.
