Équipe Denis Coderre pour Montréal (English: Denis Coderre Team for Montreal, short form: Équipe Denis Coderre) is a municipal political party in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, formed in 2013 to support the candidacy of Denis Coderre for Mayor of Montreal. The party competed for the first time in the 2013 municipal election.
Contents
Beginning in June 2013, seventeen sitting members of Montreal City Council, as well as several borough councillors, switched their party affiliation to Coderre's team. Most were sitting as independent councillors following the dissolution of the Union Montréal party in the wake of Gérald Tremblay's resignation as mayor in 2012, although Coderre attracted support from former Vision Montréal and Projet Montréal councillors as well.
The party also announced a number of non-incumbent candidates in other races, including former Radio-Canada journalist Philippe Schnobb. However, the party also faced some criticism for the fact that of the 19 candidates announced by the party as of early August, fifteen were incumbents and only four were new candidates, resulting in media speculation that Coderre could potentially fall short of his early promise to put forward a slate of candidates that was at least 50 per cent new.
Current
Équipe Denis Coderre currently holds the following seats on Montreal City Council and borough councils.
Former
The following incumbent councillors affiliated with Équipe Denis Coderre in 2013 during the preceding council, but did not run or were defeated in the 2013 election.
