Canada Federal Election Results 2025 LIVE Updates: Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberal Party won Canada’s federal election with 169 seats, and US President Donald Trump congratulated the Canadian PM over a telephonic conversation on the victory.

His Indian counterpart PM Narendra Modi, in a post on X, congratulated Carney on the win and said the two countries are “bound by shared democratic values, a steadfast commitment to the rule of law, and vibrant people-to-people ties.”

"It's a disappointing night for New Democrats. We're only defeated when we stop fighting," Jagmeet Singh said.
Here are the latest numbers, including results and projections, of Canada elections so far by CBC:
US President Donald Trump has not said anything regarding the Canadian election results since it started trickling in, where the Liberal Party is poised to form a minority government.
However, President Trump during an interview with Fox News last month had said "I would rather deal with a Liberal than a Conservative, I think it’s easier to deal, actually, with a Liberal."
The New Democratic Party (NDP) led by Jagmeet Singh has faced a collapse at the2025 Canadian election as NDP is currently projected to win 10 seats.
In British Columbia, the vote share of NDP has plunged by 15.5% in comparison to 2021 election, while nationally, NDP's vote share is down by about 13%.
Liberals have won the Toronto's Toronto-St. Paul's seat which they lost in the byelection held last year to Conservative Don Stewart, CBC has projected.
As polls closed across Canada, the results started to trickle in and CTV News has projected that Prime Minister Mark Carney led Liberal Party will form a minority government.
As all polls have closed across all the provinces of Canada, the projections and results have started to trickle in and according to CBC:
Prime Minister Mark Carney, who is leading the Liberal Party in the 2025 Canada elections, is projected to win his seat in Ontario’s Nepean riding.
Carney, who has never been elected to parliament, is poised to secure his first-ever seat in the House of Commons.
Celebrations have begun at the headquarters of Liberal Party as Prime Minister Mark Carney is all set to form the new government, major networks have projected. However, itis still unclear if it will be a majority government or a minority government.
Prime Minister Mark Carney led Liberals have won the Canada elections, but it is still not sure whether the Liberal Party will be able to form the government on its own or will it require alliance, CTV and CBC reported.
Prime Minister Mark Carney had asked for a strong mandate to help him handle US President Donald Trump's tariffs and annexation threat but CBC said the Liberals had not yet secured the 172 electoral districts, known as seats, they needed for a majority.
The result might not be known for some time and could depend on the westernmost province of British Columbia, where polls closed last.
Carney had promised a tough approach with Washington over its tariffs and said Canada would need to spend billions to reduce its reliance on the United States. But the right-of-center Conservatives, who called for change after more than nine years of Liberal rule, showed unexpected strength.
Gaining its ground in Quebec, Liberals are leading with over 13 seats in comparison to the 2021 elections results while the Bloc Québécois has plunged by 13 seats in the early trends.
As most polls close across several provinces of Canada, the projections and results have started to trickle in and according to Elections Canada:
According to reports, more polls have just closed in Ontario, Quebec and Nunavut, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, the Northwest Territories and parts of British Columbia, which means that polling has closed in most parts of Canada now.
After facing a sudden crash where the website was not opening, the Elections Canada website is now live, however, it has a message at the top stating they’ve been having “technical difficulties” and are working to fix them.
Elections Canada, which is an independent agency which conducts the polls in Canada, said on its website "Our website is having technical difficulties. As a result, some of our online services and tools are currently unavailable. We are aware of the issue and are working hard to fix it. We apologize for any inconvenience."
The first Canadian election polls closed on Monday after a campaign in which U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs and musings about annexing Canada became the central issue. Polls in Atlantic Canada's four provinces closed, while people in Ontario and Quebec, the provinces with the most electoral districts, four western provinces and three territories were still voting.
In early counting, the Liberals were leading in 21 of Atlantic Canada's 32 districts, which are also called seats, followed by the Conservatives with 11. The Liberals held 23 seats before the election. Election results will trickle in as polls close at staggered times across the country.
Trump's threats ignited a wave of patriotism that swelled support for Liberal Prime Minister Mark Carney, a political newcomer who previously led two G7 central banks. Polls have tightened in recent days, showing the Liberals leading the Conservatives by at least a few percentage points.
A Liberal win in the popular vote usually results in the party forming government, as much of the Conservatives' support is in rural areas with fewer seats. Trump re-emerged as a campaign factor last week, declaring that he might raise a 25% tariff on Canadian-made cars because the U.S. does not want them. He said earlier he might use "economic force" to make Canada the 51st state.

The Conservatives are projected to win the Long Range Mountains seat, till now held by the Liberal Party, in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, BBC reported.
If the projections are to be believed, it is the first flip since the polling stopped across various provinces in Canada on the night of April 28.
As polls start to close across Canada, the seat projections have started to trickle in and the first seat of polls goes to Liberal Party, BBC reported.
Liberal party's Philip Earle, who is an incumbent, is projected to hold on to his seat in Labrador.
Here is a list of key constituencies from where leaders of various parties are contesting the elections in Canada:
The Elections Canada website, which is an independent agency that conducts the polls in Canada, is down and the website is showing that it can't be reached at the moment.
According to Bloomberg, many late voters use the Elections Canada website in order to find out where they are supposed to go and cast their vote.
As the local time hits 8:30pm in respective provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and the rest of Labrador, the polls have been shut in these places.
Voting places are now shuttered with early indications of the election result coming out soon via the Elections Canada, an independent agency which organises the polls in Canada.
In Newfoundland and parts of Labrador, its 8:30pm (local time) and the polls have closed. According to a BBC report, the counting would begin immediately.
The political map of Canada was redrawn ahead of 2025 national election, and the House of Commons would see an increase of member of parliaments from 338 MPs to 343 MPs.
Hence, after the April 28 election concludes, a party would need 172 seats to claim a majority to form the government instead of 170 needed earlier.
A few hours is left for the Canadians to vote as the national election is drawing to close and it will be decided who would lead the country, whether Liberal Party led PM Mark Carney or Opposition's Conservatives led Pierre Poilievre.
Talking about the voter turnout over the years, the 2021 election saw a lower voter turnout in comparison to previous two elections.

In another post, Carney wrote, “Today, we leave everything on the ice.” He also shared a video featuring actor Mike Myers at an ice hockey rink.
Rachel Ziemba, an adjunct senior fellow at the Center for a New American Security, said in a post on X that tariffs and U President Donald Trump’s annexation threats are “a major factor” influencing the Canadian election, benefiting the Liberal Party.
Ziemba added that the economy including a 6.7 percent unemployment rate, along with inflation and housing costs — also remains a crucial concern for voters.
