2021 Federal Election: Trudeau re-elected

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will return as Canada’s Prime Minister in another minority government.

The Liberals have been projected to form the 44th Canadian Parliament. The Conservatives are likely to be the official opposition to the Liberal Party. 

Trudeau called a snap election last month, two years ahead of schedule, as he and his party were hoping to form a majority government with 170 seats. The gamble did not pay off for Trudeau after the pivotal 36-day campaign. Trudeau first came into power in 2015.
