Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre loses Ottawa-area seat
Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre lost his seat in the Ottawa-area riding of Carleton to Liberal Bruce Fanjoy after holding it since 2004.
The Liberal Party, led by Mark Carney, secured a minority government with 168 seats, while the Conservatives gained 25 seats but fell short of a majority.
NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh lost his seat and announced his resignation, as the party's seat count dropped sharply from 25 to 7.
In his concession speech, Poilievre highlighted Conservative accomplishments, stating, 'We have much to celebrate tonight' despite the electoral loss.
