Justin Trudeau will remain in power as Canada’s prime minister but with a minority government.

Trudeau’s Liberal Party had won or were leading in 156 of 338 seats as of midnight Eastern Daylight Time, according to Elections Canada. That put the Liberals far short of the 170 seats needed for a second straight majority government.
