The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and other Canadian media have projected the centre-left Liberals will win the most seats in Canada’s federal election. It’s still unclear whether the Liberals will win the 172 seats needed for a one-party majority (out of 343 total seats).
At the time of writing, the Liberals lead or have been elected in 167 seats, the Conservatives in 145, the left-wing Bloc Québécois (BQ) in 23, the left-wing New Democratic Party (NDP) in seven and the Greens in one.
Canada uses the first-past-the-post system to elect its MPs. On current counts, the Liberals have won 43.1% of the national vote, the Conservatives 41.7%, the BQ 6.7%, the NDP 6.1% and the Greens 1.2%. The current results are based on 94% of polling booths nationally reporting.
