DATE OF ELECTION April 28.

TYPE OF ELECTION Parliamentary election.

OUTCOME Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberal Party won the federal election but fell short of winning an outright majority in Parliament. Preliminary results show the Liberal Party winning 169 seats, just three seats short of the majority, while the Conservative Party finished with 144 seats. Carney’s main opponent, Pierre Poilievre of the Conservative Party, was voted out of his seat in Parliament.

Without the majority in Parliament, the Liberals will need to rely on one of the smaller parties to maintain power: Bloc Québécois, a separatist party from French-speaking Quebec, or the New Democrats, the progressive party former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau relied on to stay in power.
