The Liberal Party won the elections in Canada for the fourth consecutive time, and its leader, Mark Carney, will be the country’s next prime minister.
Polls had predicted a victory for the Conservatives, with a margin of up to 25%, but the resignation of former prime minister Justin Trudeau, who had become unpopular after 9 years in office, and Mark Carney taking over the leadership of the Liberals, changed the outcome.
By the end of 2024, the most optimistic scenario for the Liberals was a narrow Conservative victory, which would have meant they lacked the necessary seats to avoid forming a coalition with the Opposition.
