Despite a recent judicial recount returning a riding to the Liberals, the party, led by Prime Minister Mark Carney, cannot secure a majority government solely from the election results, as they need 172 seats. With three recounts pending, the Liberals could potentially drop to 168 seats or reach a maximum of 171, depending on outcomes in close races, such as the one in Windsor-Tecumseh—Lakeshore, where incumbent Irek Kusmierczyk seeks a recount due to disputed rejected ballots. The process of judicial recounts involves a formal re-examination of ballots overseen by a judge, which can affect the final seat count significantly.
