Prime Minister Mark Carney-led Liberal party won Canada's election on Monday, according to local media projections. The public broadcaster CBC and CTV News both projected the Liberals would form Canada's next government.The Liberal Party, led by Mark Carne, remains in the lead, according to the latest trends. The Liberals are leading in 132 seats, while the Conservatives are leading in 88. After experiencing an unexpected outage, the Elections Canada website is now back online. To secure a majority government, a party must win at least 172 out of 343 seats. If current trends hold, Mark Carney, who succeeded Justin Trudeau as Liberal leader, is poised to remain Prime Minister.It's still unclear if the liberals will have a majority in the Parliament or whether they will need to look for alliances with other parties.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has congratulated Mark Carney and his Liberal Party on winning the Canada federal election. PM Modi underscored how India and Canada are "bound by shared democratic values, a steadfast commitment to the rule of law, and vibrant people-to-people ties". He said he looks forward to working with the new Canadian PM to strengthen the India-Canada partnership.
Congratulations @MarkJCarney on your election as the Prime Minister of Canada and to the Liberal Party on their victory. India and Canada are bound by shared democratic values, a steadfast commitment to the rule of law, and vibrant people-to-people ties. I look forward to working…

Jagmeet Singh, the leader of Canada's New Democratic Party and a known pro-Khalistan figure, has lost the 2025 Canadian federal election. His defeat has been seen as a welcome chance for India and Canada to reset diplomatic and trade relations left frozen by allegations - from Singh and former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau - that "agents" of the former were involved in the killing of Hardeep Nijjar. Singh - who had repeatedly, and without proof, made such claims - failed to defend his Burnaby Central Seat in British Columbia. He lost to the Liberal Party's Wade Chang. Singh said he was "disappointed" the NDP could not win more seats.His removal from the scene, at least for now, will give Prime Minister Mark Carney and his Indian counterpart, Narendra Modi, to work together to restore India-Canada ties.
