Preliminary results from Elections Canada show that 17% of seats - 59 out of 343 - changed hands in this election, up from just 7% - 22 out of 338 - in 2021. The rise in the number of available seats in the House of Commons, from 338 to 343, reflects a new political map which accounts for changes in population.

The projected result marked a reversal in fortunes for a party that was on track for a historic wipeout only months ago and capped a campaign upended by Trump.
