Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre failed to win the Carleton riding with 46.9% (29,437) of the vote. Liberal Bruce Fanjoy won with 49.6% (31,110).

Poilievre said he will remain the leader of the Conservative Party.

N.D.P leader Jagmeet Singh was unable to secure the Burnaby Central riding, finishing third with only 18.1% (8,688) of the votes. Liberal Wade Chang won the riding with 41.8% (20,048).
