On February 2, 2022, Conservative leader Erin O'Toole was removed as leader by a caucus vote. Following a leadership election, Pierre Poilievre was elected the new leader of the Conservative Party.

Canada's electoral system, a "first-past-the-post" system, is formally referred to as a single-member plurality system. Voters select a representative nominated for their electoral district (sometimes referred to as a riding), and the candidate with more votes than any other candidate is elected to a seat in the 343-member House of Commons and represents that riding as its member of parliament (MP). The party that wins the most seats in the House of Commons usually forms government, with that party's leader becoming prime minister. The largest party by seat count that is not the government or part of a governing coalition becomes the Official Opposition. That party receives more finances and privileges than the other opposition parties.{{cite web |title=The Official Opposition in the Canadian House of Commons |first=Jay |last=Makarenko |date=January 30, 2008 |website=re:politics |url=https://repolitics.com/features/the-official-opposition-in-the-canadian-house-of-commons/ |access-date=March 27, 2025}}{{cite web |title=Selection and Role of Canada's Official Opposition |first=Susan |last=Munroe |date=February 27, 2019 |website=ThoughtCo |url=https://www.thoughtco.com/official-opposition-508467 |access-date=March 27, 2025}}

An absolute majority of the votes cast in the last election is not needed to form government and is rarely achieved. Additionally, the government party does not need to obtain a majority of the seats in the House of Commons; under the current multi-party system, it is common for the government party to lack a majority. However, to pass bills domestically, the governing party must have support of a majority of MPs. Without majority support, the government can be defeated, then a new party is named government or an election has to be held.

As the ballot was marked for the Bloc candidate, a tie vote would have forced a by-election.{{cite news |last=Olson |first=Isaac |date=May 12, 2025 |title=Liberals won Terrebonne, Que., riding by 1 vote — but this woman's Bloc ballot wasn't counted |url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/elections-canada-investigating-terrebonne-1.7533228 |work=CBC News}} On May 14, Elections Canada announced that they had conducted an analysis revealing that only that ballot had come to their attention, but they were expanding their review of the special ballot voting system in general, which had been announced after a separate incident occurred in Coquitlam—Port Coquitlam.{{cite press release |date=May 14, 2025 |title=Review of Special Ballot System |url=https://www.elections.ca/content.aspx?section=med&dir=pre&document=may1425&lang=e |publisher=Elections Canada}}{{cite press release |date=May 7, 2025 |title=Issue with some special ballots in Coquitlam–Port Coquitlam |url=https://elections.ca/content.aspx?section=med&dir=pre&document=may0725b&lang=e |publisher=Elections Canada}} However, the agency declared that it regards the result of the judicial recount as final.{{cite news |last=Morrison |first=Catherine |date=May 14, 2025 |title=Elections Canada says Terrebonne, Que., result is final despite mailing error |url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/terrebonne-elections-canada-1.7535347 |work=CBC News}} According to reports by Radio-Canada and Le Devoir, the Bloc was not ruling out contesting the result in court but had to wait until the result of the recount was published in the Canada Gazette,{{cite news |last=Bordeleau |first=Stéphane |date=May 14, 2025 |title=Le Bloc québécois n'exclut pas une contestation judiciaire dans Terrebonne |trans-title=The Bloc Québécois is not ruling out contesting the Terrebonne result in court |language=French |url=https://ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/2165002/bloc-quebecois-options-vote-terrebonne-resultats |publisher=Radio-Canada}}{{cite news |agency=Canadian Press |date=May 14, 2025 |title=Le Bloc québécois étudie toutes ses options concernant le vote dans Terrebonne |trans-title=The Bloc Québécois is studying all its options concerning the Terrebonne vote |language=French |url=https://www.ledevoir.com/politique/canada/879406/bloc-quebecois-etudie-toutes-options-concernant-vote-terrebonne |work=Le Devoir}} which occurred on May 15.{{cite journal |date=May 15, 2025 |title=Return of members elected at the 45th general election |url=https://gazette.gc.ca/rp-pr/p1/2025/2025-05-15-x10/pdf/g1-159x10.pdf |journal=Canada Gazette, Part I Extra |volume=159 |issue=10}} Auguste was consequentially able to be sworn in as MP for the riding.{{cite news |last=Proulx |first=Boris |date=May 16, 2025 |title=Malgré la contestation, Tatiana Auguste est confirmée députée dans Terrebonne |url=https://www.ledevoir.com/politique/canada/880744/malgre-contestation-tatiana-auguste-confirmee-deputee-terrebonne |trans-title=In spite of the result being contested, Tatiana Auguste is confirmed as MP in Terrebonne |work=Le Devoir |language=French}}

On May 15, Yves-François Blanchet announced in Ottawa that that the Bloc would be applying to the Superior Court of Quebec to order a by-election on the basis of irregularities that occurred, not just on the ballot returned to the voter, but also on five other ballots that had been received by Elections Canada too late to be counted.{{cite news |last=Proulx |first=Proulx |date=May 15, 2025 |title=Le Bloc saisit les tribunaux pour Terrebonne |url=https://www.ledevoir.com/politique/quebec/880123/bloc-saisit-tribunaux-terrebonne |trans-title=The Bloc is going to the court for Terrebonne |language=French |work=Le Devoir}} He said, "Since Elections Canada cannot by themselves ask for the election to be repeated, we have to bring this situation in front of a judge, in a court, in order to do the election all over again."

Significant milestones included the following:

• the Liberals won the popular vote for the first time since 2015
• they earned their highest vote share since 1980, as well as the highest vote share for any party in a federal election since 1984.{{Cite web |title=Canadian Election Results: 1867-2021 |url=https://www.sfu.ca/~aheard/elections/1867-present.html |access-date=2025-05-27 |website=www.sfu.ca}}{{Cite web |last=Heard |first=Andrew |date=2005 |title=Canadian Election Results: 1867–2021 |url=https://www.sfu.ca/~aheard/elections/1867-present.html |access-date=April 30, 2025 |publisher=Simon Fraser University}}

The election results represented a significant contrast to the polling estimates prior to the election. In December 2024, the Conservatives had a 20 percentage point lead over the Liberals; however, Trudeau's resignation and U.S. president Donald Trump's hostile foreign policy towards Canada were reasons that led to a significant change in public opinion that favored the Liberals. Comparisons have been made to the Australian federal election held on May 3, 2025, where the incumbent centre-left government, led by the Labor Party, overturned a significant deficit in polling, made gains, and remained in government. Commentators spoke of a negative "Trump effect" as the Australian opposition conservative leader Peter Dutton also lost his seat.{{cite web |last=Smith |first=David |date=May 4, 2025 |title=Blaming Donald Trump for conservative losses in both Canada and Australia is being too kind to Peter Dutton |url-status=live |archive-date= May 6, 2025 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250506013518/https://theconversation.com/blaming-donald-trump-for-conservative-losses-in-both-canada-and-australia-is-being-too-kind-to-peter-dutton-255599 |url=https://theconversation.com/blaming-donald-trump-for-conservative-losses-in-both-canada-and-australia-is-being-too-kind-to-peter-dutton-255599 |access-date= May 5, 2025 |website=The Conversation}}{{cite web |last=Duncan |first=Grant |date=May 5, 2025 |title=A 'Trump slump' has lifted the left in Canada and now Australia – what are the lessons for NZ? |url=https://theconversation.com/a-trump-slump-has-lifted-the-left-in-canada-and-now-australia-what-are-the-lessons-for-nz-255715 |url-status=live |archive-date= May 5, 2025 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250505042751/https://theconversation.com/a-trump-slump-has-lifted-the-left-in-canada-and-now-australia-what-are-the-lessons-for-nz-255715 |access-date=May 5, 2025 |website=The Conversation}}{{cite news |date=May 5, 2025 |title=The Trump effect has placed both Canada and Australia under left-wing rule |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/2025/05/05/trump-effect-canada-australia-elections-left-wing/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250505141838/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/2025/05/05/trump-effect-canada-australia-elections-left-wing/ |archive-date=5 May 2025 |access-date=May 6, 2025 |work=The Telegraph |issn=0307-1235}}

Strategic voting played a role in the election, which benefitted the Liberals, moving it closer to a two-party system.{{cite web |last1=Blanchfield |first1=Mike |last2=Djuric |first2=Mickey |date=April 28, 2025 |title=Mark Carney elected Canada's prime minister |url=https://www.politico.com/news/2025/04/28/mark-carney-wins-canada-prime-minister-election-00314480 |access-date=April 30, 2025 |website=Politico}}{{cite web |last=Rudderham |first=Hannah |date=April 29, 2025 |title=Close races, Trump and 2-party support: Political scientists react to federal election results |url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/federal-election-political-science-two-party-1.7521498 |access-date=April 30, 2025 |work=CBC News}} The declining performance of the New Democratic Party (NDP) in the election was also attributed to strategic voting.{{cite web |last=Givens |first=Terri |date=April 29, 2025 |title=The impact of strategic voting in Canada |url=https://theconversation.com/the-impact-of-strategic-voting-in-canada-255489 |website=The Conversation |access-date=May 1, 2025}} Alex Marland, the Jarislowsky chair in trust and political leadership at Acadia University in Nova Scotia, said that Trump's interference and threats significantly affected the results, stating, "It really galvanized progressives, people on the political left. You can see the collapse of the NDP vote. A big reason for people who would have voted NDP ending up voting Liberal was really because of fear over Donald Trump." Gabriel Arsenault, a political science professor at the Université de Moncton, emphasised the results being closer to a two-party system. In December 2024, the Liberals and Conservatives were polling together around 65 percent of the intention votes versus the around 85 percent they got in the election. In reference to the NDP, Arsenault added, "[Pierre] Poilievre sought votes among workers, and usually that would be the main group where the NDP got its votes, so I think it has to transform itself." As for the Green Party, which won only one seat, Arsenault said, "We'll have to see if this is just temporary because of Trump, or [if] this is illustrative of a bigger trend here."

Abacus Data determined the following migration patterns of voters from 2021:

Analysis by The Economist, which called the 29-point swing comeback in polls by the Liberals as "one of the widest on record in any democracy",{{cite news |date=April 26, 2025 |title=How a tetchy central banker became 'Captain Canada' |url=https://www.economist.com/the-americas/2025/04/24/how-a-tetchy-central-banker-became-captain-canada |newspaper=The Economist |access-date=May 6, 2025}} noted that the two best predictors of the margin shift from Conservatives to Liberals were education and immigration: the Liberals gained in ridings with more university graduates and native-born voters, while the Conservatives benefited in ridings with more voters who were either foreign-born or did not hold degrees.{{cite news |date=May 3, 2025 |title=Canada's new Conservative movement resembles Donald Trump's |url=https://www.economist.com/the-americas/2025/04/30/canadas-new-conservative-movement-resembles-donald-trumps |newspaper=The Economist |access-date=May 7, 2025}} Religion was also a factor in certain results, where secular and Muslim voters tended to favour the Liberals while more heavily Jewish ridings swung to the Conservatives.

According to a postmortem inquiry by the Toronto Star, the Liberals and Conservatives both experienced fortunate incidents and missteps. Members of the Liberal election team were estimating a final seat total of 181 to 190 seats, while the party's computer modelling was suggesting a lesser number.{{cite news |last= Raj|first= Althia|author-link1= Althia Raj|date= May 31, 2025|title= How the race was lost|url= |work= Toronto Star|pages=A1, A15{{en dash}}A17}} While a Léger poll in February suggested a dead heat between the two parties if Carney became the Liberal leader, the Liberals were relieved when the Tories initially chose to focus their attacks on Carney's actions during his time in the private sector, as opposed to the more effective gambit in the last two weeks of the campaign of emphasizing the point that the Liberals "might be trying to pull a fast one on the country" by switching leaders.{{cite news |last= Raj|first= Althia|author-link1= Althia Raj|date= June 1, 2025|title= The change question|url= |work= Toronto Star|pages=IN1, IN3{{en dash}}IN7}} The Liberals were slow to catch on to underlying shifts in voter sentiments until candidates were reporting from key races in the Greater Toronto Area, Alberta and BC that second-generation Sikhs, Hindus, Muslims and Italians (especially among younger men) were moving over to the Conservatives because of issues relating to public safety and immigration. Liberal attempts to address the issue chose to focus on gun control, an area voters did not consider relevant. On the other side, many Conservatives believed that the tone set by Poilievre turned off many traditional supporters, and there was evidence that the significant lead the party enjoyed during the previous year was the result of "[mistaking] the poll numbers for our own popularity, as opposed to disgust with Justin Trudeau". Morale among the party's backbenchers and grassroots was also affected by Poilievre's management of the campaign, and it was estimated that 110 riding nomination races were cancelled in favour of parachuting candidates directly in. After election day, when it became apparent that both parties had come up short of their expected majority, the question posed by one Liberal insider was, "How do you end up winning Bay of Quinte but losing Brampton West?" Many observed that the resultant grouping of Liberal supporters was significantly influenced by the influx of NDP voters, Quebec nationalists and "white men over 50", while Conservative efforts to attract younger voters, union members and immigrants proved to be successful.

The Liberal Party regained a leading position in this election, reversing previous polling in which it trailed behind the Conservative Party. With a vote share of 43.8%, it achieved its highest level of support since 1980 and marked its strongest performance since taking office in 2015. They won seats in every province (the only party to do so) and exceeded 40% of the popular vote in every province except Alberta and Saskatchewan. Although the party secured 169 seats—falling three seats short of the 172 needed for a majority—it successfully formed a minority government. The Liberals led in Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia, and the Atlantic provinces. Quebec saw the most notable gains, with the party winning 10 more seats than in 2021. The Liberals also performed well in the city of Toronto and the southern Greater Toronto Area (primarily in the more urban and affluent areas south of Highway 401), reclaiming a seat lost in last year's by-election, and produced dominant margins in the Ottawa region. However, their seat count in Ontario dropped by five compared to the previous election, in part due to losses in the York Region north of Toronto.{{cite news |last=Quigley |first=Joseph |date=April 29, 2025 |title=Blue wave sweeps York Region, with only 2 Liberal wins |url=https://www.newmarkettoday.ca/2025-federal-election-news/blue-wave-sweeps-york-region-with-only-2-liberal-wins-10588580 |work=Newmarket Today |access-date=May 7, 2025}} In Manitoba, the party won six seats, just one fewer than the Conservatives.{{cite news |last=Rowe |first=Daniel J. |date=April 28, 2025 |title=Here's how Quebec's 78 seats went on 2025 election day |url=https://www.ctvnews.ca/montreal/article/heres-how-quebecs-78-seats-went-on-2025-election-day/ |work=CTV News |access-date=May 3, 2025}}{{cite news |last1=Leake |first1=Phil |last2=Benjamin |first2=Alison |last3=Wainwright |first3=Daniel |last4=Carr |first4=Jess |date=May 2, 2025 |title=How Canada voted – in charts |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cn4jd39g8y1o |work=BBC |access-date=May 3, 2025}}

Carney made a victory speech on election night after winning his seat of Nepean; he emphasized that regardless of which party Canadians supported, he would strive to be a prime minister for all. He said he would "always do my best to serve everyone who calls Canada home".{{cite news |last=Dangerfiel |first=Katie |date=April 29, 2025 |title=Read the transcript of Prime Minister Mark Carney's victory speech |url=https://globalnews.ca/news/11154593/canada-election-mark-carney-victory-speech/ |work=Global News |access-date=May 3, 2025}} On international matters, Carney expressed serious concern regarding Trump. He criticized Trump for imposing tariffs and using trade pressure in attempts to weaken Canada's economy, while also publicly questioning the country's sovereignty. He said, "There is someone trying to undermine our economy: Donald Trump."{{cite web |last=Charter |first=David |date=May 6, 2025 |title=Mark Carney tells Trump 'Canada is not for sale' in first meeting |url=https://www.thetimes.com/us/american-politics/article/mark-carney-trump-meeting-changes-economy-bkgq9v6fx |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250506190159/https://www.thetimes.com/us/american-politics/article/mark-carney-trump-meeting-changes-economy-bkgq9v6fx |archive-date=May 6, 2025 |access-date=May 6, 2025 |website=The Times }} In response to Trump's past remarks suggesting that Canada could become the 51st state of the U.S., Carney firmly declared, "The United States is not Canada. Canada will never, under any circumstance, become part of the United States." Carney received congratulations from domestic leaders, including Premier Danielle Smith of Alberta, Premier Doug Ford of Ontario, Premier Scott Moe of Saskatchewan, and Mayor Olivia Chow of Toronto.{{cite web |date=April 29, 2025 |title=Canadians, world leaders congratulate Mark Carney and Liberals on election win |url=https://www.stalbertgazette.com/saskatchewan-news/canadians-world-leaders-congratulate-mark-carney-and-liberals-on-election-win-10588491 |access-date=April 30, 2025 |website=St. Albert Gazette}}

The Conservative Party achieved its highest vote share in decades in this election, garnering 41.3% of the vote—the highest for a conservative party since 1988 and the best result since the modern party's founding in 2003. They exceeded 35% of the popular vote in every province except for Quebec. The party secured 144 seats, second only to its majority government victory in 2011. Nevertheless, it still fell short of the Liberal Party in both vote share and seat count. Despite the overall electoral defeat, the Conservatives maintained a strong advantage in the three Prairie provinces. The party also made notable gains in areas traditionally less favourable to it, including the Greater Toronto Area in Ontario (particularly in York Region and Brampton), Vancouver Island and surrounding coastal regions in British Columbia, as well as several working-class regions such as Windsor and northern Ontario which political analyst Douglas Todd stated "helped shatter the myth that people who normally vote NDP would never vote for the Conservatives".{{Cite web |url=https://vancouversun.com/opinion/columnists/how-the-federal-conservatives-gained-seven-seats-in-bc |title=The federal Conservatives gained seven seats in B.C.

In total, the Conservatives gained 24 seats—seven more than the Liberals' gain of 16 seats. The largest increase was in Ontario, where they picked up 15 new seats, a third of which were in York Region; in British Columbia, they gained 5 seats, just one fewer than the Liberals. They also gained two seats in Newfoundland and Labrador and one seat in Quebec, while in Nova Scotia the party lost 2 seats and was left with only one. After the election results were announced, Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre delivered a concession speech in which he congratulated Prime Minister Mark Carney and stated he would work with all parties to end Donald Trump's tariffs. Poilievre also emphasized that he would continue to serve as Conservative Party leader, and that the party would remain an effective opposition in Parliament, focusing on issues such as the economy, cost of living, housing, and defending the interests of Canadians.{{Cite news |title=Read Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre's election concession speech |url=https://globalnews.ca/news/11153832/canada-election-pierre-poilievre-concession-speech/ |work=Globalnews}} Shortly after the speech, it was confirmed that he had been defeated by Liberal Party candidate Bruce Fanjoy in the riding of Carleton.{{Cite web |title=Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre loses Ottawa-area seat |url=https://www.ctvnews.ca/ottawa/article/conservative-party-leader-pierre-poilievre-loses-ottawa-area-seat/ |access-date=April 29, 2025 |website=CTV |date=April 29, 2025 |language=en-US}} Voters in the area told the CBC that Poilievre's support for the 2022 Freedom Convoy protest which occupied part of the city core and his pledge to reduce the public service contributed to his loss in the riding.{{Cite news |title=Poilievre faces uncertain future after losing his own seat and failing to depose the Liberals |url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/poilievre-uncertain-future-1.7521681 |work=CBC}} Calls from provincial conservative premiers for Poilievre to resign as Conservative leader grew following the election result.{{Cite web |url=https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2025/04/28/doug-ford-ontario-canada-election-00311985 |title=He's Canada's Most Successful Conservative Right Now — And He Is Disappointed in Pierre Poilievre |first=Jonathan |last=Martin |date=April 28, 2025 |website=POLITICO}}{{Cite web |url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/houston-federal-conservative-leadership-rumours-1.7523069 |title=Houston says he's 'focused on Nova Scotia' amid rumours he's seeking Poilievre's job |last=Grant |first=Taryn |website=CBC}}

In this election, the Bloc Québécois garnered only 6.3% of the national vote, with support in Quebec dropping to 27.7%. The party won 22 seats, ten fewer than in the previous election, marking its third-worst performance in history. The Bloc failed to consolidate its advantage in Quebec, with the Liberal Party capturing key constituencies. Several prominent members, including the party's House Leader Alain Therrien, were defeated.

After learning the results of the election, party leader Yves-François Blanchet admitted his party had suffered a setback and accepted the voters' decision. He acknowledged the party's losses but pointed to external factors, such as Trump's tariff policies and controversial remarks about Canada, as well as the Liberal Party's perceived use of fear-based campaigning, as contributing to the defeat. Blanchet stressed that the Bloc would remain committed to standing up for Quebec's interests and called for cooperation among all parties in Parliament to meet the country's shared responsibilities. He added that the Bloc would continue to play a constructive role in Parliament to ensure Québécois voices are not sidelined at the federal level. He also noted that the seats won by the Bloc place it in a position of influence in a minority government. He said, "We will speak up for Quebec clearly and confidently, but we will do so in a way that fosters unity rather than division."{{Cite news |title=Blanchet Acknowledges Losses, Calls for Collaboration with Parliament |url=https://www.cpac.ca/vote-2025/episode/blanchet-acknowledges-losses-calls-for-collaboration-with-parliament?id=1d52c8f5-de57-4945-ad03-80c1e42a4f36 |access-date=April 29, 2025 |website=cpac |language=en-CA}}{{Cite web |title=Bloc Québécois still hopes to hold the balance of power in Ottawa |url=https://nationalpost.com/news/politics/federal_election/federal-election-quebec-bloc-vying-balance-of-power |access-date=April 29, 2025 |website=nationalpost |language=en-CA}}

In this election, the New Democratic Party secured only 6.3% of the national vote and won just 7 seats, marking the worst result in its history. They received slightly fewer votes than even the Bloc Quebecois, despite running nationally as opposed to only in Quebec. Compared to the previous election, the party lost 18 seats — 7 to the Liberals and 10 to the Conservatives (with one seat dissolved) — and its vote share dropped significantly. In no province did they finish higher than third in the popular vote or receive more than 13% of such vote. Party leader Jagmeet Singh also failed to win re-election (finishing third place in his riding of Burnaby Central). Falling short of the 12-seat threshold, the NDP lost its official party status for the first time since 1993. After the election, certain observers and party insiders questioned the allocation of resources to crucial ridings in the final days of the campaign, noting that eight others had closer races than Burnaby Central and thus better chances for victory.{{cite news |last= Thurton|first= David|date= May 24, 2025|title= Inside the NDP's last-ditch efforts to save Jagmeet Singh and his riding|url= https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/jagmeet-singh-riding-burnaby-central-election-1.7542379|work= CBC News}}

The Green Party won only one seat, one less than the previous election, receiving the party's worst popular vote since 2000. Its national vote share was 1.2%, a drop of 1.13 percentage points from 2.33% in 2021. The only seat secured was in the British Columbia riding of Saanich—Gulf Islands, where party leader Elizabeth May was re-elected. Meanwhile, co-leader Jonathan Pedneault failed to win in the riding of Outremont, coming in at 5th place.

After the election results were announced, Green Party co-leader May expressed her gratitude for once again earning the trust and support of voters in her riding, and voiced her hopefulness about the party retaining a seat in the context of a minority government. She acknowledged that although the Green Party's overall national performance was disappointing, with a historically low share of the vote, she remains committed to the importance of environmental and social justice issues and will continue to advocate for them in Parliament. May emphasized that an individual victory is not an endpoint, but part of a broader effort to advance national environmental policy and democratic reform. She also expressed openness to taking on a more active role in Parliament in the future.{{Cite web |url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/green-party-leader-elizabeth-may-wins-saanich-gulf-islands-1.7521274 |title=Green co-Leader Elizabeth May holds B.C. seat for 5th term |first=Chad |last=Pawson |date=April 29, 2025 |website=CBA}}

On the other hand, Green Party co-leader Pedneault expressed regret that the party had won only one seat and failed to gain broad support from voters. He acknowledged that the Greens had not achieved the breakthrough they had hoped for in this election. Pedneault stated that, as co-leader, he bore political responsibility for the outcome and thus chose to resign from his leadership position.
