The Liberals, led by Justin Trudeau, are leading in 185 electoral districts. The son of late Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau is now poised to form a majority government, Canada's CBC and CTV networks predict. Incumbent Conservative PM Stephen Harper - whose party is leading in 103 districts - accepted defeat. His party said Harper would resign as leader of the Conservatives. Addressing his jubilant supporters shortly afterwards, Trudeau said that Canadians "sent a clear message tonight - it's time for a change". Meanwhile, the left-leaning New Democratic Party (NDP) is on course to win 41 seats, less than half the number they held in the outgoing parliament. To form a majority government, a party needs 170 seats in the 338-member parliament.
