🗳️ Canada Election Results – Full Overview
As of April 28, 2025, Canada has elected Mark Carney as the nation’s new Prime Minister following a highly anticipated federal election.
Carney, previously the Governor of both the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England, assumed leadership of the Liberal Party in March 2025 after Justin Trudeau stepped down earlier in the year.
The 2025 election witnessed record-breaking voter turnout during early voting, with over 7.3 million Canadians casting their ballots ahead of the official election day. This surge in participation reflects the intense public interest in shaping Canada’s future amid both domestic and international uncertainties.
📊 Canada 2025 Federal Election Results
Although the final seat counts are still being verified, early projections show:
- Liberal Party (Mark Carney): 177 seats (majority secured)
- Conservative Party (Pierre Poilievre): 132 seats
- Bloc Québécois: 25 seats
With 172 seats required for a majority, the Liberal Party under Carney’s leadership has clearly crossed the threshold, enabling a strong governing mandate.
🔄 Leadership Transition and Political Background
After a prolonged decline in approval ratings and growing internal dissent within the Liberal Party, Justin Trudeau announced his resignation in January 2025.
Mark Carney, despite not holding a parliamentary seat at the time, was appointed Prime Minister on March 14, 2025.
In this election, Carney contested from the Nepean riding and is projected to win comfortably.
This leadership change reflects the Liberal Party’s strategic pivot towards economic expertise and stability amid growing financial and international pressures.
🌎 How International Factors Impacted the 2025 Election
One of the most surprising external influences came from U.S. President Donald Trump, whose controversial suggestion that Canada should become America’s “51st state” stirred nationalist sentiment across Canadian political lines.
Both Carney and Poilievre condemned these comments, emphasizing Canada’s sovereignty and igniting a wave of patriotic support that contributed significantly to voter mobilization.
Moreover, Carney’s firm stance against U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods and his focus on domestic issues like housing affordability and stagnant wages resonated deeply with Canadians seeking dependable leadership in uncertain times.
