Ottawa, April 29 (NationPress) The current ruling Liberal Party of Canada has been forecasted to win the elections according to the Canada Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), as initial results indicate a significant lead for the party.
CBC News reported that it “is forecasting the Liberals will establish their fourth consecutive government”; however, it remains “too early” to determine if they will secure a majority or operate as a minority government.
By 10:30 PM local time on Monday (8 AM Tuesday in India), the Liberal Party had claimed 33 of the 65 announced seats, with counting ongoing for the remaining 273 seats in the 33-member House of Commons.
Currently, the Liberal Party is leading in 117 seats, while the Conservative Party has won 32 and is leading in 83 others.
The New Democratic Party, led by Jagmeet Singh, who is often accused of sympathizing with Khalistan, has yet to win a seat but is leading in five.
Poll aggregations prior to Monday indicated the Liberal Party was ahead of the Conservative Party by just under 3 percent, as per the government-funded Canada Broadcasting Corporation.
Nevertheless, it projected the Liberals to achieve a commanding lead in seat count and form the government.
If victorious, Mark Carney, who has taken over from Justin Trudeau, will remain as prime minister, currently leading in the Nepean constituency in Ontario Province.
The Conservative Party, under Pierre Poilievre, gained momentum due to Trudeau's unpopularity, with polls suggesting a potential landslide victory.
Ironically, US President Donald Trump revitalized the Liberal Party when he initiated a tariff war against Canada and hinted at annexation.
Since Poilievre shares ideological similarities with Trump, many Canadians gravitated towards the Liberals, who presented a nationalist stance against the US president.
Canada employs paper ballots, with a decentralized counting system where tallies are conducted at polling locations and communicated to Election Canada, facilitating early results.
