63 seats were needed for a majority EP The 1989 Quebec general election was held on September 25, 1989, to elect members of the National Assembly of the Province of Quebec, Canada. The incumbent Quebec Liberal Party, led by Premier Robert Bourassa, won re-election, defeating the Parti Québécois, led by Jacques Parizeau.
This election was notable for the arrival of the Equality Party, which advocated English-speaking minority rights. It won four seats, but never had any success in any subsequent election.
1988 redistribution of ridings
The Commission de la représentation électorale performed a redistribution in 1988, which increased the number of seats in the National Assembly from 122 to 125 for the next general election:
