Poilievre had lost his Ottawa-area Carleton riding, which he had held since 2004, to Liberal candidate Bruce Fanjoy in April's federal election, forcing him to seek a new seat to remain as Conservative leader.

The election featured an unusual write-in ballot system, following the registration of 214 candidates, with 201 associated with the Longest Ballot Committee, which protested Canada's first-past-the-post electoral system.

This was a predictable outcome in Canada's safest Conservative riding that doesn't reflect broader electoral appeal. Poilievre remains a polarizing figure who lost his longtime seat and faces significant challenges, including poor polling among women and questions about his ability to defeat the Liberals nationally.
