Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre will not have a seat in the next Parliament after a stunning upset by his Liberal opponent, raising questions about his ability to continue as party leader and the role he will play when the House of Commons reconvenes.

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.

Pierre Poilievre lost the vote for a constituency he has held for 21 years to a Liberal political neophyte. His populist approach may have been to blame.
