The Canadian federal election of 1925 was held on October 29 to elect members of the Canadian House of Commons of the 15th Parliament of Canada. Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King’s Liberal Party formed a minority government. This precipitated the King-Byng Affair.The Liberals under Mackenzie King won fewer seats than Arthur Meighen’s Conservatives. A third party the Progressives which had nominated candidates for the first time in the 1921 election held the balance of the seats.
