OTTAWA, Canada — Mark Carney don win as prime minister of Canada di election wey happen on April 28, 2025, according to national broadcaster CBC/Radio Canada projections. But e still dey unclear if im Liberal Party go fit secure di 172 seats wey dem need for outright majority for parliament. Di full results go available late on Monday evening or early Tuesday morning.
Dis election na one of di most pivotal wey Canada don see in years, and e no dey separate from di anti-Trump sentiments wey dey sweep di nation. As di 60-year-old former investment banker take di wheel from di former prime minister, Carney’s campaign scatter middle of di uncertainty wey Trump don scatter for Canada, as he threaten to annex Canada as di 51st state.
Before dis election, Carney no don hold any political office, but im career as di governor of di Bank of Canada during di 2008 economic downturn and di Bank of England during di Brexit crises position am as a strong candidate. Di people of Canada reply am well after Trump launch direct attacks on their sovereignty and economy, affirming dat Carney be di right leader to face di challenges ahead.
Pierre Poilievre, di Conservative Party leader wey dem don dey expect as di next prime minister, find am tough to hold on to im position after di resignation of Justin Trudeau. Poilievre still lose significant ground as di election kampain move forward, especially with Trump dey push im agenda on Canada.
Di tension for di election heighten when Trump show face for social media on di election day, reigniting fears of economic domination and take-back threats against Canada. “President Trump dey try to break us, so dat America go fit own us. Dat go never happen,” Carney talk as him address supporters after di initial results show a Liberal victory.
Poilievre admit say him don lose early Tuesday and call am “razor thin minority government” victory for Carney, pledging say di Conservative Party go hold di government accountable. As di Conservative Party experience another defeat, many analysts dey predict di party go enter time of reckoning to rethink dia appeal.
“Dis election na about holding Canada together in di face of Trump wahala. Many Canadians don response to di way Trump dey treat us,” one voter, Reid Warren, from Toronto, talk to di Associated Press. “We wan kibosh di negative messaging and show say we dey united.”
As Carney dey plan how to govern ahead, he emphasize say maintaining Canada’s sovereignty must be priority. E promise to build di economy internally and make Canada less reliant on di United States by creating new homes and factories. “We go fit do dis, and we get many options outside di US,” Carney insist.
Di Liberals wey serve nearly ten years under Trudeau face challenges in recent polls, but Carney’s emergence bring new light to di party, as he promise say im government go work for all Canadians regardless of dia political affiliations. Dis election also mark di end of di road for di National Democratic Party (NDP), as dem no meet di minimum seat requirement to keep dia party status. NDP leader Jagmeet Singh announce say he go step down after dis loss.
As Canada prepare to face di future under Carney leadership, di way Trump threat don help shape di election outcome show power wey political sentiments dey have on di electorate. Di results of dis election na reminder say di relationship between Canada and di US dey change, and Canada go need a strong voice to protect dia interest as political tides turn around di world.
