Mark Carney declares victory for Liberal Party in Canada election | ITV News
Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberal Party is projected to win Canada’s election and form the next government in what will be his party’s fourth term in power.
As results continue to be announced, it is currently unclear whether Carney’s party will win an outright majority of at least 172 seats or whether it will have to govern as a minority, relying on support from smaller parties.
Carney has only been Canada’s PM for 46 days but in that time has managed to turn around his party’s fortunes and recover from a position in which some pollsters placed his opponents at a 27-point lead.
His opponent, conservative Pierre Poilievre, had hoped the election would be a referendum on Carney’s predecessor, Justin Trudeau, who had won three terms and resigned in January.
