Justin Trudeau, who was Canadian Prime Minister since 2015, resigned from his post earlier this year, after which Mark Karney was elected the new Prime Minister.
The Prime Minister’s tenure in Canada is 5 years, but if the PM loses a lot or the PM, then the Parliament can announce a new election by dissolving it ahead of time. Carney did the same.
Liberal Party estimated to get 189 seats According to Mainstance Research, Liberal can win around 189 seats, the possibility of forming a government up to 70%. On the other hand, the Conservative Party can also achieve better results than its previous performance. However, both Quebec and NDP seats may be reduced.
Main contest in Liberal and Conservative Party
liberal Party: The Liberal Party was established in 1867. It is one of the oldest political parties in Canada. The Liberal Party supports progressive ideology. Its emphasis is on issues like liberalism, environmental protection and social welfare.
However, in the past, the Liberal government is being criticized due to issues like inflation and unemployment. Trudeau was the Prime Minister from the same party from 2015 to 2025. In the last general election, the Liberal Party got 153 seats and was left behind by 17 seats with a majority, after which it ran the government with the support of the New Democratic Party.

The Conservative Party criticizes the current Liberal government’s economic management and carbon tax policies. This party got 120 seats in the last election.
Difficult competition for Quebec and NDP
Quebec Party: In 1991, the Quebec party was founded by MPs who separated from Progressive Conservative and Liberal Party. This party supports issues such as environment, LGBTQ+ Rights and Abortion Rights. It won 33 seats in the 2021 general election, making it the third largest party in the House of Commons (Lower House of Canadian Parliament). However, this time its seats may decrease.
New Democratic Party: The New Democratic Party (NDP) was established in 1961. Currently Sikh MP Jagmeet Singh is the leader of this party. It emphasizes social justice, labor rights, economic equality, environmental protection and social welfare.
NDP won 25 seats in the federal election of 2021, making it the fourth largest party in the House of Commons.
