[Asia Economy Reporter Yu Je-hoon] In the 44th Canadian general election, the Liberal Party government led by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau won. However, the Liberal Party failed to secure an outright majority as initially hoped, and it is expected that they will fail to form a majority government.

According to local media reports such as the public broadcaster CBC on the 20th (local time), the ruling Liberal Party is tentatively estimated to have won 156 out of the total 338 seats in the Canadian House of Commons. The Conservative Party is predicted to win 121 seats, the Bloc Qu?b?cois 32 seats, the New Democratic Party (NDP) 27 seats, and the Green Party 2 seats.

The Liberal Party called an early election as a strategic move to break away from its position as a minority government, but faced difficulties due to last-minute setbacks such as the withdrawal from Afghanistan. As a result, the new parliamentary seat distribution is not significantly different from the previous one (Liberal Party 155 seats, Conservative Party 119 seats).
