Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre was voted out of his own seat in Parliament as Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberal Party won Canada’s federal election, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation projected.

Canadian Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre is seeking to bring the Liberal Party's nine years in power to an end.

Canada has elected its new prime minister after former PM Justin Trudeau resigned as the leader of the country’s Liberal Party earlier this year. Conservative opposition leader Pierre Poilievre faced off with the Liberal Party’s Mark Carney, and one walked away in victory.

Canadians will head to the polls on April 28 to decide who will form the next government. With the departure of long-time Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, the two main contenders for the role are Mark Carney from the Liberal Party and Pierre Poilievre from the Conservative Party.

Carney will have to either negotiate with opposition legislators for support or go it alone and dare other parties to topple his government.
