worldUpdated: Oct 22, 2019 08:19 ISTCanadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is poised to win a second term in national elections, winning enough seats to form a minority government. Justin Trudeau is seeking a second term as prime minister -- weighed down by scandal and voter fatigue but still poised to win more districts than any of his rivals, based on polling projections at the end of the campaign. Trudeau and Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer were tied in popular support for much of the final week, though Trudeau’s support is spread more widely and in vote-rich regions like Ontario and Quebec. No party looks poised to win 170 districts required for a majority, meaning the winner will likely require the support of other parties to pass laws. If Trudeau tries to govern with or without a plurality, it will likely force a leftward shift in his agenda.
