Former governor of the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England Mark Carney has secured the leadership of Canada’s ruling Liberal Party and is set to succeed Justin Trudeau as prime minister, according to official results released on Sunday. Carney, 59, won with 86% of the votes, defeating former Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland in a contest that saw nearly 152,000 party members participate.

The 2025 Canadian federal election, which will determine the composition of the 45th Parliament, is legally required to take place by October 20, 2025. However, Carney may choose to call an early election.
