The Liberal Party came out on top in Canada's federal election but fell short of forming a majority government, setting the stage for a difficult parliament.

The Liberals are projected to win more of Parliament’s 343 seats than the Conservatives, though it wasn’t clear yet if they would win an outright majority, which would allow them to pass legislation without needing help.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberal Party won the country’s federal election that took place on Monday. The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation notes the Liberals won 155 seats in parliament, compared to the 133 the Conservative Party won. The Liberals need 172 seats for a parliamentary majority.
