Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois will step down as spokesperson for Québec solidaire. GND will remain a member of the National Assembly, but will not seek reelection in the next election.

"(...) In 2012, the role of GND as spokesperson during the student strike made the young union activist a media figure in the movement. Along with Jeanne Reynolds, he was co-spokesperson for the Coalition large de l'ASSÉ (CLASSE), a temporary coalition of 67 associations representing 100,000 students, demanding free education.
The strike, which lasted from February to September 2012, reached a peak in March, when nearly 300,000 students across the province were on strike.
(...) In March 2017, Nadeau-Dubois announced that he was joining Québec solidaire. A few weeks later, on May 21, he became the party's male co-spokesperson, alongside Manon Massé. He was then elected as the MNA for the riding of Gouin, in central Montreal, in the May 29 by-election. He was re-elected in the following elections with nearly 60% of the vote.
(...) [In April 2024] the parliamentary leader receives the support of his colleagues and simultaneously announces his desire for the party to make a "pragmatic" shift so that Québec solidaire is able to win elections and form a government."
