ElectionsThe Parti marxiste-léniniste du Québec or PMLQ (in English: Marxist-Leninist Party of Quebec) is a Quebec communist political party. Its orientation is Marxism-Leninism. The PMLQ is the Quebec branch of the Marxist-Leninist Party of Canada. It has run candidates in Quebec general elections in 1973, 1981 and since 1989 under various names: Parti communiste du Québec (marxiste-léniniste), Parti marxiste-léniniste (Québec) and Parti marxiste-léniniste du Québec.
In 2002, three leftist political parties (Rassemblement pour l'alternative progressiste, Parti de la démocratie socialiste and Parti communiste du Québec) merged to form the Union des forces progressistes. However, the Parti marxiste-léniniste du Québec refused to join the UFP, and ran candidates in the 2003, 2007 and 2008 Quebec elections.
The leader of the PMLQ is Pierre Chénier.
