2025 Canadian federal election

The **2025 Canadian federal election** took place on 28 April 2025 to elect members of the House of Commons to the 45th Canadian Parliament.

The election was scheduled be held on or before 20 October 2025. On 23 March, Prime Minister Mark Carney asked the Governor General to dissolve parliament and have an election on 28 April 2025

The Liberal Party, led by Mark Carney won with an increased minority government. The Conservative Party, led by Pierre Poilievre placed second, staying the Official Opposition, Poilievre, however, lost his riding of Carleton, meaning the Conservatives would have to pick a temporary Parliamentary leader. The other parties—Bloc Québécois, NDP, Green, and People's—all lost seats, with the NDP seeing it's worst showing in a federal election ever, having won only 7 seats, compared to the 25 seats they won in the 2021 election.
