Quebec general election, 1956
In the Quebec general election on June 20, 1956, the incumbent Union Nationale under Maurice Duplessis won re-election, defeating the Quebec Liberal Party under Georges-Émile Lapalme.
This was the fifth and final time (and the fourth in a row) that Duplessis led his party to a general election victory. No party since has been able to win more than two elections in a row. Duplessis died in office in 1959.
It was Lapalme's second (and final) loss in a row as Liberal leader. The Liberals did not manage to improve on their performance in the previous 1952 election.
