New Democratic Party

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's ruling Liberal Party of Canada wins early parliamentary elections, world news agencies reported, citing preliminary data from the National Electoral Commission.

Canadians appear set to end nine years of Stephen Harper's Conservative rule at the ballot box Oct. 19 and elect a Liberal government led by Justin Trudeau.

Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper on August 2 called a parliamentary election for Oct 19, kicking off a marathon 11-week campaign likely to focus on a stubbornly sluggish economy and his decade in power.

Polls indicate that Harper's right-of-center Conservative Party, which has been in office since 2006, could well lose its majority in the House of Commons.
