The voting period for the parliamentary elections to select the next prime minister of Canada has ended, and preliminary results have also begun to emerge. In Canada, citizens exercised their right to vote during parliamentary elections that ran from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Canada's Prime Minister and Liberal Party candidate Mark Carney and Conservative Party's Pierre Polyevo were expected to face a close contest.
A party will need 172 seats in the House of Representatives, which has 343 members. In parliamentary elections, the Liberal Party is in control. According to the news agency, several media outlets have claimed that Prime Minister Mark Carney's Liberal Party has won canada's general election.
The Liberal Party is said to be the next government in Canada by public broadcasters CBC and CTV News, but it is not yet clear whether the party has a majority in parliament. The results so far indicate that 48 seats are in front and 114 Labour Party candidates have won. The Conservative Party has won 106 seats while leading in 43 seats.
Apart from this, 19 candidates of Block Quebec and 2 candidates of NDP have won so far.
Before the election, the Liberals had 152 seats and the Conservatives had 120 seats, while the Bloc Québécois had 33 seats and the NDP had 24 seats.
The election comes at a time when President Trump's tariffs on Canada are on the minds of voters. At the same time, high housing prices in urban areas, unemployment rate of 6.7 percent and difficulty in people's access to healthcare are also attracting people's attention.
