Mark Carney’s Liberal Party has won Canada’s federal election and will form the next government, but it remains unclear whether the party has secured a parliamentary majority or will need to rely on a coalition to govern.
However, Carney who spoke live as results continue trickled in, thanked supporters for a “mandate for change” while urging unity across political divides.
The Conservative Party made significant gains but ultimately fell short.
Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre conceded defeat, acknowledging “hard lessons” from the campaign trail.
Scenes at party headquarters reflected the mood of the night, cheers and celebration from Liberals, while many Conservatives left their venue visibly emotional following the results.
