CP News Alert: Liberals to win most seats in 2021 federal election

Sep 20, 2021 | 11:27 PM

The Canadian Press is projecting that the Liberal party will win the most seats in the 2021 federal election, giving them the best chance to form the next government.

It is not yet clear whether Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will win a majority, or need the support of at least one other party to remain in power with a minority government.

Trudeau called the election on Aug. 15, pulling the plug on his minority government almost two years removed from an election.

It was seen as a gamble to garner a majority that Trudeau pushed for along the campaign trail.

The Liberals would need to win 170 seats in the 338-seat House of Commons to have a majority.
