Canada’s Liberal Party, led by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, is projected to retain power following Monday’s election. However, early results indicate they may fall short of securing a majority government.
As polls closed across the nation, attention turned to the westernmost province of British Columbia, where final counts could significantly impact the overall outcome. To achieve a majority in the House of Commons, the Liberals need at least 172 of the 338 seats.
Local media outlets, including CTV News and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), have projected that while the Liberals will remain in power, they may not win enough seats to govern without the support of smaller parties.
The possibility of a minority government means the Liberals would need to collaborate with other political parties to pass legislation and implement their agenda.
