Overview

  • Elizabeth May decisively won her Saanich–Gulf Islands seat, securing 40% of the vote for her fifth term in Parliament.
  • Co-leader Jonathan Pedneault lost his seat in Outremont, Quebec, finishing in third place during a challenging election for the Greens.
  • The Green Party’s national vote share dropped to approximately 1.2%, half of its 2021 level, reflecting reduced visibility during the campaign.
  • The party has filed a legal challenge against its exclusion from televised leaders' debates, a decision attributed to its reduced candidate slate.
  • Mike Morrice’s race in Kitchener Centre remains too close to call, leaving the party's final seat count uncertain as of April 29, 2025.
