Mark Carney’s Liberal Party is projected to win enough seats to form a government in the Canadian elections which were held yesterday, April 28th
The party is still short of the majority but Carney is set to remain Prime Minister of Canada, a post he held for only two months following Justin Trudeau’s resignation.
Media reports state that the spectacular electoral comeback was fuelled in part by US President Donald Trump’s language, the trade war and economic threats.
Meanwhile the conservative leader and Carney’s main rival Pierre Poilievre has been projected to lose his seat.
Results at this time are:
Liberal – 168
Conservative- 144
Bloc Quebecois – 23
