Canadians have decided to hand the Liberals a fourth term in power in Ottawa.
Mark Carney will remain in the Prime Minister’s office as the Liberals are projected to win the most seats in the House of Commons in the 2025 Federal Election.
As of 9:25 a.m., the Liberals are leading or elected in 168 ridings across the country, and the Conservatives 144. As for the other parties, the Bloc Québécois are leading or elected in 23 ridings and the New Democrats seven. The Greens won one seat — Elizabeth May’s B.C. riding.
The Liberals are currently just below the 172-seat threshold for a majority government. Some ridings remain uncalled.
“I have a question. Who’s ready? Who’s ready? Who’s ready to stand up for Canada with me,” Carney says to his supporters. “And who’s ready to build Canada strong?”

Canadians voted overwhelmingly for Liberals or Conservatives; the two parties have received 43.5 per cent and 41.4 per cent of the votes counted so far.
“There’s also humility for me in recognizing while Canadians have chosen to place their trust in me, their trust in the Liberal Party, million of our fellow citizens preferred a different outcome,” Carney told supporters. “And my message to every Canadian is this: no matter where you live, no matter what language you speak, no matter how you voted, I will always do my best to everyone who calls Canada home.”
While his party gained seats in Parliament, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre was defeated in Carleton — the Ottawa-area riding he has represented since 2004. He spoke to supporters hours before that development, vowing to “continue to fight for you, and be a champion for your cause as we go forward.”
“To my fellow Conservatives, we have much to celebrate. Tonight we’ve gained well over 20 seats,” Poilievre told supporters. “We got the highest share of the vote our party has received since 1988.”

The NDP will lose official party status after their support collapsed nationwide. Jagmeet Singh has lost his seat in Burnaby-Central and announced he will be stepping down as party leader.
