Ottawa, April 29 (NationPress) The current ruling Liberal Party of Canada has been forecasted as the election victor by the Canada Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), as initial results indicate a robust lead for the party.
According to CBC News, it “is forecasting the Liberals will establish their fourth consecutive government”; however, it stated that it is “premature” to determine whether they will achieve a majority on their own or form a minority government.
By 10:30 PM local time on Monday (8 AM Tuesday in India), the Liberal Party had secured 33 out of the 65 announced seats, while counting continued for the remaining 273 seats in the 338-member House of Commons.
The Liberal Party was leading in 117 seats, whereas the Conservative Party had won 32 seats and was ahead in 83 others.
The New Democratic Party, led by Jagmeet Singh, who is allegedly a Khalistan sympathizer, had not won any seats but was leading in five.
Prior to Monday, aggregated polls indicated the Liberal Party was slightly ahead of the Conservative Party by nearly 3 percent, according to the government-supported Canada Broadcasting Corporation.
Despite this, it forecasted that the Liberals would achieve a significant lead in the number of seats and establish a government.
Should the Liberal Party triumph, Mark Carney, who took over from Justin Trudeau, will continue as prime minister, as he was leading in the Nepean constituency in Ontario Province.
The Conservative Party, under Pierre Poilievre, had gained popularity due to Trudeau’s unpopularity, with polls suggesting a potential landslide win for them.
Ironically, US President Donald Trump revitalized the Liberal Party by initiating a tariff war against Canada and threatening annexation.
Since Poilievre shares ideological similarities with Trump, more Canadians rallied behind the Liberals, who presented a nationalist opposition to the US President.
Canada employs paper ballots, and the counting process is decentralized, with results tallied at polling stations and reported to Election Canada, the agency overseeing the elections. This system facilitates quicker result announcements.
