Stephan Fogaing announced that he has been elected as the deputy for Vachon in the National Assembly of Quebec following a judicial recount and several days of waiting. He thanked the voters, his team, the volunteers, and his loved ones, and praised the other candidates in what he described as a very tight election.

Michon, Geneviève Couture, Camille P., Véronique Venne, and Émile Simard.
