Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre has won the Battle River-Crowfoot by-election in Alberta, regaining his seat in the Canadian House of Commons. Poilievre secured just over 80% of the vote, with 99% of ballots counted, and held a 70-point lead over his competitors. Voter turnout was notable, with 50,434 of 85,736 registered voters participating. This victory marks Poilievre's return to Parliament after being ousted in the last general election. He is set to face Prime Minister Mark Carney in the House of Commons when Parliament resumes on September 15. Poilievre has pledged to champion rural issues and oppose Liberal policies. The win provides the Conservative leader with renewed momentum and a fresh start ahead of the upcoming parliamentary session.
