Two of the major party leaders were unable to retain their seats on Monday, with both the Conservatives’ Pierre Poilievre and NDP’s Jagmeet Singh falling to Liberal challengers.

Singh placed a distant third in Burnaby Central. But Poilievre’s result was a shocking upset, losing the Ottawa-area riding of Carleton after holding it for two decades.

But beyond those two leaders, a number of other notable incumbents also lost their seats. Here’s a breakdown of some of the bigger names who won’t be returning to the House of Commons.

Beyond Singh, Niki Ashton is one of the more notable NDP candidates to lose her seat.

Ashton had been an MP since 2008 when she won the Manitoba riding of Churchill-Keewatinook Aski for the NDP.
