The Quebec Liberal Party is the province’s oldest political brand and the party that has spent the most time in power.

The Liberals suffered their worst defeat in decades in the 2018 election that swept François Legault and his conservative-leaning Coalition Avenir Québec into office.

They currently hold just 19 of 125 seats in the provincial legislature, mostly in and around Montreal .

The party needs to broaden its appeal beyond Montreal if it's to have any chance of forming government.

Sources say Frédéric Beauchemin is dropping his leadership bid and throwing his support behind Rodriguez .

Coderre has been plagued by headlines about how he owes roughly $400,000 to federal and provincial tax agencies.

Rodriguez and Milliard both have endorsements within the Liberal caucus, but Milliard has considerable support from party's youth wing.
