Overview

• Preliminary results show the Liberal Party leading with 43% of the vote, narrowly ahead of the Conservatives at 42%, with over 70% of ballots counted.
• Media projections confirm a Liberal victory, but it is uncertain if they will secure a parliamentary majority or form a minority government.
• Mark Carney, who became Prime Minister and Liberal leader in March, emphasized his global financial expertise to address economic challenges and U.S. trade hostilities.
• The campaign was heavily influenced by U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs and annexation threats, which became central issues for Canadian voters.
• This election marks the first in a decade without Justin Trudeau leading the Liberal Party, following his resignation in January.
