The Liberal Party has won a fourth successive mandate in Canada, staging an unexpected comeback.

Axar.az reports, citing BBC, in his victory speech, Prime Minister Mark Carney vowed to stand up to the US, which he accused of trying to "break" Canada.

Carney is a relative political newcomer, having replaced Justin Trudeau as leader of the Liberals two months ago.

Liberal leader Mark Carney does not need to be sworn in again as prime minister. Instead, he will continue doing his job, along with his Cabinet ministers.

The Liberals are now projected to form a minority government with Carney as prime minister. They will have to strike deals with the other parties to survive no-confidence votes and pass legislation in Parliament.
