— Carney has won his Ottawa riding, securing the prime minister a seat in Parliament.
— It is not clear whether Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre will win his own riding, which neighbours Carney’s. He is trailing, though the race is too close to call. Poilievre told supporters he would continue to fight on their behalf.
— NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh conceded defeat in his riding and said he would step down as party leader.
— NDP candidates are leading or elected in seven ridings, short of the 12 seats needed for official party status.
— The Green party’s Elizabeth May was re-elected in B.C., though her co-leader Jonathan Pedneault failed to break through in his Quebec riding.
