Mark Carney has been projected as the winner of the Canadian federal election, securing another term as prime minister.
The news was confirmed by Canadian broadcasters CBC and CTV News, alongside the Associated Press on Monday evening.
This outcome signals a strong political rebound for the Liberal Party.
The party had faced challenges earlier in the year but found renewed support from voters.
Carney’s win comes after he called a surprise election just weeks ago.
That decision followed a sharp climb in the Liberal Party’s polling numbers, recovering from a 20-point gap since early 2025.
Moreover, his campaign gained momentum after comments from U.S. President Donald Trump.
Trump’s threats to annex Canada as the “51st state” stirred national anger.
This pushback helped rally support behind Carney and the Liberals.
However, while the victory is clear, the size of Carney’s mandate is still uncertain.
CTV News has predicted that the Liberal Party may fall short of a majority in the 343-seat House of Commons.
Meanwhile, CBC has stated it is too soon to make a final call.
If a minority government is confirmed, Carney will have to work with other parties to remain in power.
In Canadian politics, minority governments often last no more than two-and-a-half years.
Carney stepped into the role of prime minister earlier this year following the resignation of Justin Trudeau.
His main opponent in this election, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre, had once been seen as the favorite.
However, Trump’s harsh tariffs and aggressive tone caused a major shift in the campaign’s mood.
As a result, Carney’s message of national strength and independence gained traction.
He promised to respond firmly to Washington’s economic policies and to reduce Canada’s financial reliance on the U.S.
“Canada would invest billions to reduce its economic dependence on the United States,” Carney pledged.
In addition, the final days of the campaign were shaken by a tragedy in Vancouver.
An attack at a street fair claimed 11 lives and led to a pause in political events.
Authorities later confirmed that the suspect had mental health challenges and ruled out terrorism.
Before his entry into politics, Mark Carney had served as governor of both the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England.
He became the first non-British citizen to lead the Bank of England, making headlines globally.
Now, with a renewed mandate, all eyes are on Carney to deliver real progress.
