The Liberal Party of Canada secured victory in Monday’s federal elections, granting the ruling party another four-year mandate and reaffirming public confidence in Prime Minister Mark Carney's leadership amid challenges posed by US President Donald Trump's tariff policies and his fixation on annexing Canada, AzVision.az reports, citing Anadolu Agency.

According to preliminary results released by Elections Canada, the country’s official and independent electoral body, the Liberal Party won a majority with 43.5% of the valid votes.

The Liberals, which won 168 of the 343 seats in the House of Commons with the current vote rate, could not exceed the 172 MP limit required to be in power alone.

The main opposition Conservative Party, which won 41.4% of the votes, received 144 of the seats in the parliament with the current share of the votes.

The Conservative Party is followed by the Quebec Bloc Party with 6.4% of the votes.

As of now, 98.86 % of the votes have been counted.

The Liberals, expected to come to power for a fourth consecutive term, last won a parliamentary majority in 2015.

In the 2021 elections, the Liberal Party led by Justin Trudeau won 160 seats in parliament, the Conservative Party 119, the Quebec Bloc 32, and the New Democratic Party 25.
