Mark Carney’s Liberals have won a shock election victory, just months after he took over from Justin Trudeau as leader of the party.
The former Bank of England Governor only became Prime Minister in March, after defeating former Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland.
In an unexpected result, he has now beaten the leader of the Conservative Party Pierre Poilievre as well and will remain PM.
The Liberals are projected to win more of parliament’s 343 seats than the Conservatives, but it is still unclear if they secured a majority, or whether they will have to negotiate with other parties to stay in power.
