Mark Carney was elected as the leader of the Liberal Party and is set to become the next prime minister of Canada, securing 85.9% of the votes. This victory surpasses that of outgoing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau during his leadership race despite Carney having a shorter campaign period. However, Carney is not yet in office as he awaits swearing-in by Governor General Mary Simon, while Trudeau has agreed to assist during the transition period. Speculations arise regarding a potential election call, given Carney currently lacks an MP seat.
Carney's overwhelming victory signals a strong mandate as he prepares to transition to prime minister, despite the urgency of establishing his government before upcoming elections.
Despite the short campaign period, Carney's decisive win exceeded expectations, reflecting a significant shift in Liberal leadership and possibly Canadian political dynamics.
As Carney is not yet an elected MP, speculation abounds that he might call for an election soon, potentially reshaping the political landscape.
Trudeau is set to assist in the transition, serving in his role temporarily before officially stepping down and handing over leadership to Carney.
