2025 Canada Federal Election Live Results: Liberals Win

Canada’s Liberal Party won a fourth consecutive term in Monday’s federal elections, according to the national broadcaster CBC/Radio-Canada.

The Liberals will form a minority government, having missed out on a majority by just a handful of seats. They will require support from other parties to pass legislation.

In the past few months, the Liberal Party made a remarkable comeback in the polls. Heading into 2025, the Conservatives under Pierre Poilievre were favored to win the most seats in Parliament. But a series of events — including President Trump’s tariffs and threats to Canadian sovereignty, and the resignation of Justin Trudeau, the increasingly unpopular prime minister — boosted the chances of the Liberals and Mark Carney, the new prime minister.

Voters don’t cast a ballot for a prime minister in the same way they would vote for a president in the United States. The party that wins the most seats in Parliament typically forms a government, and its leader becomes the prime minister.

Since the last election, five new seats — known as “ridings” — were added to the House of Commons because of population growth. The table below shows the results from the 2025 election in each riding grouped by the party that is estimated to have won it in the previous election.
