By creating an independent party under her own name, incumbent mayor Manon Barbe retained her position in the borough of LaSalle. <\/p>\n

Her popularity also benefitted the rest of her team with four of her six candidates easily elected and two others facing local recounts. Monique Vall\u00e9e from the Denis Coderre team will be the only opposition voice on council.<\/p>\n

Barbe\u2019s pro-business vision and her fiercely local stand appealed to many.<\/p>\n

\u201cMontreal\u2019s strength is in her boroughs,\u201d said Barbe, when she initially created her party, \u00c9quipe Barbe\u2014Pro-Action LaSalle. \u201cThe boroughs are functioning just fine. Montreal\u2019s problems aren\u2019t there.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n
Barbe beat her closest competitor Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Labb\u00e9 by 2,901 votes for a total of 36.61% of the vote, but other positions were harder fought. <\/p>\n

Long-time councillors Richard Deschamps and Laura Palestini were elected as city and borough councillors for the Sault Ste Louis district with 32.58% and 34.01% of the vote respectively. \u00c9quipe Barbe newcomer Nancy Blanchet took the second borough council seat, with 3,367 votes or 31.36%.<\/p>\n

Recounts will probably be necessary in all three Cecil P. Newman district seats.<\/p>\n

Monique Vall\u00e9e from the Denis Coderre Team won the city councillor position for Cecil P. Newman, but her lead over Luciano Di Sante from \u00c9quipe Barbe was only 141 votes.<\/p>\n

Serge Declos and current councillor Jos\u00e9e Troilo were both elected as borough representatives for Cecil P. Newman. Astonishingly, both won by only 59 votes against competitors Dino Masanotti and Anju Dhillon from the Denis Coderre team.<\/p>\n

There are 51,562 registered electors in LaSalle, but only 20,555 people casted votes for mayor. The local turnout rate of 38.86% was almost five percentage points lower than the island as a whole. The turnout rate was brought down by the Cecil P. Newman district, where only 36.61% of eligible people cast votes as opposed to the Sault Ste. Louis district\u2019s 43.86%. <\/p><\/div>\n
