Early results from Canada's general election show victory for the Liberal Party led by Prime Minister Mark Carney, according to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC). Preliminary results indicate the party will secure more parliamentary seats than the Conservative Party, though it remains unclear if they will achieve an absolute majority of 172 out of 343 seats - which would allow them to form a government without relying on coalition partnerships with smaller parties. Complete results are expected later. Carney, a respected economist who had never run for political office before, replaced Justin Trudeau last month after the latter resigned following a drop in popularity.
