Trudeau wins Canada reelection with liberal minority

Published September 21, 2021 2:45pm ET



Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has won reelection in Canada, albeit without the majority government in the House of Commons that Trudeau hoped for.

The Sept. 20 election won the Liberal candidates 157 ridings, while the Conservatives won 122, in line with initial projections. The election results were hardly different from the 2019 election results and did not net the 170 ridings needed for a majority government, according to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. Nevertheless, Trudeau was grateful for the victory and thanked his voters on social media.
