The 2025 Gatineau municipal election will take place on November 2, 2025, to elect a mayor and city councillors in Gatineau, Quebec, Canada. This election will be the first in Gatineau's history where more than one political party is participating. Incumbent Mayor Maude Marquis-Bissonnette is running for re-election. ^[1]

Candidate nominations are expected to open on September 19 and close on October 3. ^[2] The election will be held in conjunction with municipal elections held across Quebec on that date.

Background

See also: 2024 Gatineau mayoral by-election

France Bélisle was elected as Mayor of Gatineau in the 2021 mayoral election, becoming the city's first female mayor. ^[3] However, on February 22, 2024, Bélisle announced that she would resign, citing a toxic work environment and having received death threats; Daniel Champagne was then named as acting mayor, pending the 2024 Gatineau mayoral by-election. ^[4] The election was won by Maude Marquis-Bissonnette, retaking the city's top job for the party. ^[5]

Since 2012, the political landscape in Gatineau had been made up of only one party, Action Gatineau, which had been founded in June of that year. ^[6] The party, which was founded by Maxime Pedneaud-Jobin, then-city councillor for Buckingham District and later Mayor from 2013 to 2021, alongside fellow councillors Stefan Psenak, Mireille Appolon, André Laframboise and Luc Angers. Since its founding, the party has only ever held a minority of seats on city council. ^[7] Various political figures have explored forming a second political party to go against Action Gatineau, such as Clément Bélanger, who placed fourth out of five candidates in the 2017 mayoral election in 2018, ^[8] Mike Duggan, a longtime city councillor at various instances, ^{[9] [10] [11]} and Audrey Bureau, city councillor for Aylmer District from 2017 to 2021 and daughter of former Mayor Marc Bureau in 2024. ^[12] These attempts would not bear fruit to any new political parties, ^{[13] [14]} and in the case of Duggan, although he had initially reserved the party name Évolution Gatineau alongside 2017 mayoral candidate and former councillor for Bellevue District Sylvie Goneau in 2024 and received media coverage, ^[15] as of September 2025, the party has yet to be formally founded.

By winter of 2025, two new political parties had seemingly been in the works: Équipe Mario Aubé, which was founded by the city councillor for Masson-Angers District since 2021, Mario Aubé, and the Coalition gatinoise pour les conseils d'arrondissement, which was to be led by Speaker of Gatineau City Council Steven Boivin and Edmond Leclerc, both the current city councillors for Aylmer District and Buckingham District, respectively. ^[16] However, the latter party was never founded, as Boivin announced that he would be stepping away from politics and not seeking re-election. ^[17]
