2019 Canadian General Election Monday Oct 21,2019

Incumbent Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Liberal Party wins Canada's general election

Justin Trudeau has won a second term as Canada’s prime minister after the country’s federal election, but his narrow victory means he will lead a minority government that will be forced to depend on other parties to govern.



With results still trickling in on Tuesday morning Oct 22,2019, the Liberals had 157 seats 13 short of the 170 needed for a majority in the 338-seat House of Commons.

The Liberals won 184 parliamentary seats in 2015 and formed a majority government.

The Conservatives, which had been in power since 2006, won 99 seats and became the official opposition, while the NDP under former leader Thomas Mulcair took 44 seats

The separatist Bloc Quebecois, which only has candidates in the province of Quebec, won 10 seats, while the Greens won a single seat in British Columbia (that of May, the party leader).

In 2015, just over 25.9 million people across Canada cast their votes, up from about 24.2 million four years earlier.
