Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Tuesday acknowledged he will need to work with other parties after he fell short of winning a majority in parliamentary elections.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau won a third term on Monday but his party fell short of a majority win.

Trudeau, in power since 2015 and governing with a minority of seats since 2019, had hoped to capitalise on his government's handling of the pandemic by calling an early vote.

Instead, he was met by an unexpectedly tight race.
