Canadian Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre reclaims his parliament seat in Alberta, winning over 80% of the vote.

Pierre Poilievre will return to the House of Commons after a resounding victory in the Aug. 18 Battle River—Crowfoot by-election. Of the 85,736 registered voters, 50,434 cast ballots. Poilievre received 40,548 votes — or 80.4 per cent.

Damien Kurek, who gave up his seat in the Alberta riding of Battle River-Crowfoot so that party leader Pierre Poilievre could run in a byelection, says he intends to be back on the ballot during the next general election.

Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre easily won Monday’s Battle River-Crowfoot byelection but now faces a much tougher task — gaining ground in the polls against Primer Minister Mark Carney.

Canada’s Conservative leader has a second shot at becoming prime minister, but there are roadblocks in his way.

Pierre Poilievre will soon return to the House of Commons after winning Monday’s by-election in an Alberta riding.

At the end of 2024 the Liberal Party had sunk in opinion polls, with the Conservatives holding a commanding 25-point lead. Four months on, the Conservatives crashed yet again to the Liberals, this time led by Mr Carney in place of Justin Trudeau.

Sixteen weeks ago, Poilievre was conceding defeat to an empty room, while MARK CARNEY was dancing elbows up just down the road. The Conservatives lost the election — and Poilievre lost his seat to a Liberal rookie.
