The new election in Canada

Opposition leader leaves parliament after 20 years

Conservative Pierre Poilievre is not only losing the race for the post of prime minister in the Canadian election, but also his seat in parliament. This is shown by CBC News' forecast based on the preliminary election results in Monday's election.

After 20 years as MP for Carleton in Ottawa, Poilievre is losing his seat to Bruce Fanjoy, who wins 50.6 percent of the constituency's votes. The loss raises questions about Poilievre's future as leader of the Conservative Party, despite the party's increase in the election, writes CTV.

The Liberals' election victory means that Mark Carney, who took over from Justin Trudeau in March, will remain as prime minister.

Carney will form a government - will not get his own majority

Canadian Prime Minister and Liberal Party leader Mark Carney will lead a minority government in Canada, according to CBC's forecast.

The party has received enough votes to govern the country, but not enough for its own majority government, the channel writes.

It is the fourth time in a row that the party has won in Canada. At 10 p.m., Swedish time, the party had received 169 seats. The Conservative Party has 144 seats. A majority requires 172 seats.

In his victory speech earlier today, Mark Carney promised that he would protect his country from Donald Trump.

Canada's new leader: Will have a meeting with Trump

Canada's new Prime Minister Mark Carney spoke by phone with Donald Trump on Tuesday, his staff reported according to Reuters. Trump is reported to have congratulated Carney on the election victory.

"The leaders agreed on the importance of Canada and the United States working together - as independent nations - for mutual progress. In this spirit, they agreed to meet in person in the near future," Carney's staff wrote in a statement.
