Mayor before election
Elected Mayor
The city of Montreal, Quebec, held a municipal election at the same time as numerous other municipalities in Quebec, on November 1, 2009. Voters elected the Mayor of Montreal, Montreal City Council, and the mayors and councils of each of the city's boroughs.
The election became plagued with allegations of corruption and mafia involvement in city contracts.[1]

Despite being assailed with accusations of corruption, incumbent Mayor Gérald Tremblay led his Union Montréal party to a third victory, although with reduced standings in city council. Union's seat totals remained firm especially in the boroughs merged into the city in 2002; it retained complete control of eight boroughs and near-complete control of three more.
Vision Montréal, led by former Quebec minister of municipal affairs Louise Harel, ran a campaign targeting the mayor on ethics. However, its campaign was blindsided by a scandal involving its second-in-command and former leader Benoit Labonté, who dropped out of the race. Vision increased its council standing but was unable to defeat the mayor. It won complete control of Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve and majorities in three other borough councils.
Third party Projet Montréal increased sharply in popularity. Polls shortly prior to the election put its leader Richard Bergeron neck-and-neck with the two other main candidates. He would finally come in third, but the party increased from just one seat at the previous election to ten council seats, two borough mayors, four borough councillors, and complete control of the borough of Le Plateau-Mont-Royal. Besides its main issue of public transit and urban planning, the party emphasized ethics, running its campaign on just $200,000.

- ^ a b c d e "A person may only run for one position, either mayor of the city, borough mayor, city councillor, or borough councillor. However, a person running for mayor of the city for an authorized party may also run, together with a second person called a 'co-candidate' (colistier), for city councillor. This does not include the position of borough mayor. If the candidate for mayor is elected and also obtains the largest number of votes for the position of city councillor, he or she becomes mayor of the city and the co-candidate becomes city councillor. If he or she is defeated for city but obtains the largest number of votes for city councillor, he or she becomes city councillor for the district or (in the case of Anjou and Lachine only) the borough instead of the co-candidate, unless he or she refuses the position in writing within 30 days after his or her election as city councillor is announced." - Élection Montréal.

She contributed to a book entitled "Québécois et musulmans main dans la main pour la paix" in 2006. The following year, she led a delegation of Muslim women organized by the Canadian Islamic Congress to Hérouxville, Quebec after the small community passed a series of anti-Muslim resolutions. Boughaba's group brought gifts, including French-language books on Islam, and said that Quebecers had nothing to fear from the province's Muslim community. During a press conference at the event, Boughaba said, "Let's stop the prejudices, let's be reasonable, let's accommodate each other -- that's our message."
