Mark Carney wins race to replace Trudeau as Canada's prime minister
Former Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney won the Liberal Party leadership by a landslide Sunday on the first ballot and will become Canada’s next prime minister.
He defeated second place finisher former Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland with 85.9% of the vote, while Freeland received 8% and the other two candidates -- former Cabinet minister Karina Gould and businessman and former MP Frank Baylis – received 3.2% and 3%, respectively.
Carney will become the first Liberal Party leader to serve as prime minister while never having served in political office.
