Canadian Election 2025 Result : Mark Carney Maintaining Lead

Ottawa: Canadian Election 2025 LIVE: Canadians have voted to decide whether to extend the Prime Minister Mark Carney-led Liberal Party’s decade in power or hand over the country’s control to Pierre Poilievre’s Conservative Party . The polling is closed in most part of the country with initial projections showing an early lead for the liberal Party led by Prime Minister Mark Carney.

This time Canadians are not just electing their next Prime Minister but the polls are also seen as a referendum of sorts on someone who isn’t even Canadian – US President Donald Trump. The Liberal Party looked set to lose easily to the Conservatives until Trump won a second term and began threatening Canada’s economy and sovereignty even suggesting the country should become the 51st state.

The American President’s truculence not only infuriated many Canadians but also put Poilievre and the Conservative Party on the on the back foot due to his similarities with Trump.

45 year old Poilievre is a career politician who campaigned with Trump-like bravado During campaigning he tried to keep the focus on domestic concerns that made Trudeau deeply unpopular toward the end of his decade in power especially soaring living costs.

However , final polls indicate a tight race but Carney has emerged as a favourite Carney 60 has never held elected office and had a lucrative career as an investment banker before serving as the central bank governor in both Canada and Britain. He only replaced Justin Trudeau as prime minister last month.
