Philippe Couillards Liberals have won the Quebec election with a majority government, crushing the sovereigntist Parti Quebecois and Premier Pauline Marois.

Liberal candidates won in 70 of the province's ridings, the Parti Quebecois won 30, the Coalition Avenir Quebec took 22 and Quebec Solidaire picked up three. The PQ got about 25 per cent of the popular vote, its lowest share since 1970.

In a stunning turn of events, Marois lost her own seat in Charlevoix-Cote-de-Beaupre to Liberal Caroline Simard.

Couillard, who was a neurosurgeon before he entered politics, easily won his riding of Roberval, defeating PQ incumbent Denis Trottier.

Taking the stage at Liberal headquarters after most of the ballots had been counted, Couillard vowed to run an inclusive and stable government that represents the interests of all Quebecers.

Our language, our flag belongs to all Quebecers, he said.

Addressing the provinces anglophones in English, Couillard said: We are all Quebecers. We should all focus on what brings us together. What unites us makes us stronger.

He later added in French: Division is over; reconciliation has arrived.

In her concession speech, Marois announced she will step down as PQ leader and ensure an orderly transition.

CTV projection: Liberals win Quebec election

Posted:Today Updated: 12:08 AM Fears of another referendum on independence from Canada could have motivated voters.

MONTREAL The Liberal Party won Quebecs legislative elections Monday, in a crushing defeat for the main separatist party and major setback for the cause of independence in the French-speaking province.

Official results Monday showed the Liberals, staunch supporters of Canadian unity, won or were leading the race in about 75 of the of National Assemblys 125 seats, outstripping the separatist Parti Quebecois.

Those results will allow the Liberals to form a majority government, less than 18 months after voters had booted the party from power for the first time in nine years.

Quebec Premier Pauline Marois, who led a minority government, called the snap elections last month in the hopes of securing a majority for her PQ party. But the campaign stirred up speculation that a PQ majority would ultimately lead to another referendum on independence from Canada, an idea that has lacked support in recent years.

Fears of a referendum galvanized supporters of the Liberals.

Marois had tried to mute talk of another referendum on independence. She had hoped instead to make the election about the PQs proposed charter of values, a controversial but popular law that would ban public employees from wearing Muslim headscarves and other overt religious symbols.

But the strategy backfired early in the campaign when one PQ candidate, multi-millionaire media baron Pierre Karl Peladeau, burst onto the scene with a fist-pumping declaration of his commitment to make Quebec a country.

Voters will cast their ballots in five western Quebec ridings on Monday, each held by aLiberal incumbent, but there are two ridings that were close calls in 2012.

The closest race in the last Quebec election was in the riding of Papineau, where Liberal Alexandre Irac edged his Parti Qubcois opponent, Jean-Franois Primeau, by just more than 200 votes.

The two will once again go head-to-head in Mondays election.

There was also a close race in the Hull riding where Liberal Maryse Gaudreault beat Parti Qubcois candidate Gilles Aub by fewer than 2,500 votes in 2012. They will each have their names on the ballots once again.

The other three ridings, which were fairly clear Liberal wins two years ago, are Chapleau, Gatineau and Pontiac.
