Mackenzie King who won six elections (1921, 1925, 1926, 1935, 1940, 1945), although there was a one-term Conservative government between King's third and fourth election victories. Following King's retirement, his Liberal Party also won the next two elections under leader Louis St-Laurent (1949, 1953).
Pierre Trudeau who won four elections (1968, 1972, 1974, 1980) with a one-year break in 1979 during which Conservative Joe Clark led a short-lived minority government. Prior to Trudeau, the Liberals had also won the previous two elections with leader Lester Pearson (1963, 1965).
