    From banker to Canadian PM, Here's what you need to know about Mark Carney

    Mark Carney’s Liberal Party has won Canada’s federal election but fell short of a majority, meaning they will need support from smaller parties to govern.

Carney, 60, is a respected economist and former central bank chief who became Liberal leader in March, replacing Justin Trudeau. This is his first time in elected office. His campaign focused on protecting Canada’s economy and sovereignty. He defeated Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated him, praising India-Canada ties. As Prime Minister, Carney now faces big challenges: strengthening the economy and managing Canada’s delicate relationship with the U.S.
