was elected to a second term as mayor by a significant margin. All mayoral candidates were also permitted to run for seats on council in tandem with "co-listed candidates." In this way, all unsuccessful mayoral candidates could serve on council by assuming the seat of their co-lister (provided, of course, that the co-lister was elected). Elections were also held in Montreal's suburban communities.

Montréal-Nord

Sources: Mike King, "Battling 272 years of experience; Mayor and his team have been in power since 1963," ''Montreal Gazette'', 21 October 1994, A4; Mike King, "Ryan wins again; Ninth straight victory for patriarch of local mayors," Montreal Gazette, November 7, 1994, A5. The former source indicates that Lessard, Morin, Belanger, Gibeau, and Nadeau were incumbents in 1994. The latter source indicates the scale of Ryan's victory in 1990, although it does not indicate the council winners. All of the ''Renouveau municipal'' councillors listed above were members of the Montréal-Nord city council during the 1986–90 term, and all except Armand Nadeau (who did not seek re-election in 1994) served during the 1994–98 term. Given the overwhelming dominance of the ''Renouveau municipal'' party in Montréal-Nord and the generally low rates of council turnover in this period, it may be safely assumed that all were re-elected in 1990.
