Canada elections results 2019: What time can we expect a result?

Justin Trudeau is fighting for his political life after a series of scandals this year rocked his campaign for re-election. Mr Trudeau’s Liberal Party swept to power in 2015, gaining 184 out of 338 seats in Canada’s House of Commons.

But polling data so far doesn’t look too positive for the premier.

The latest survey has suggested Mr Trudeau’s Liberal Party of Canada is facing strong opposition from Andrew Scheer’s Conservative Party of Canada.

After almost ten years of Conservative government in the country, Justin Trudeau brought about a resurgence of liberalism in Canada when he won the election in 2015.

However, since becoming Prime Minister a series of scandals have cast doubt on Mr Trudeau’s chances of gaining a second term in government.

With everything hanging in the balance, and no certainty over who will come out victorious, Canada is now desperately awaiting news of who will govern the country for the next four years.
