The tension surrounding Sophie Prégent’s successor is not over yet. At the end of a first round, an election process was launched for the first time in the history of the trade union to determine who, actors Pierre-Luc Brillant and Tania Kontoyanni, will succeed the president of the last 10 years.

Pierre Luc Brilliant
Pierre-Luc Brillant (32.4%) and Tania Kontoyanni (32.9%) received the most support – Michel Langevin and Sylvain Massé were also in the running – after the recent first vote, meaning they were nominated as presidential candidates for this historic second round. It is necessary to get 50% of the votes + 1 to be named Grand Manitou of the UDA.
