Poilievre vows to rebuild after election defeat, Andrew Scheer becomes interim leader of the Conservative Party

Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre promised to “listen and learn” after his unexpected defeat in the 2025 federal election, for the first time in the past two decades, losing his long-standing Carlton seat to liberal candidate Bruce Fanjoy.Poilievre acknowledged the ever-changing political landscape while addressing journalists ahead of the first post-election meeting of the Conservative Caucus, as he said: “The map has changed dramatically.”
He attributed the overall loss to factors such as New Democratic support and external influences, including U.S. President Donald Trump's trade policy
Poilievre also highlighted the party's achievements in elections, in British Columbia and Ontario, which increased its achievements by 2.3 million votes compared to previous elections.

Although Poilievre reflects on the results, the Conservatives are also taking immediate measures to maintain the leadership of the House of Commons.

The conservative caucus has appointed former party leader Andrew Scheer to represent them in the House of Commons. Scheer, who previously led the party from 2017 to 2020, will serve as parliamentary leader until Poilievre wins a new seat. Members also voted for the Reform Act provisions and granted them the power to initiate leadership reviews if necessary. However, there is no immediate indication that such a scrutiny will occur, as many MPs have expressed continued support for Poilievre's leadership.

Despite receiving 41.3% of the vote, Pierre Poilievre failed to win the necessary seat in the 2025 election, and his losses at Carleton prompted him to reflect and interact with voters more directly.
