ST. JOHN’S – A recount in an electoral district near St. John’s, N.L., has reaffirmed the Progressive Conservatives’ slim majority win in last month’s provincial election.
Newfoundland and Labrador’s elections authority says a judicial recount has determined that Tory Paul Dinn beat Liberal Dan Bobbett by 106 votes in the Topsail–Paradise riding.
The vote tally on the Oct. 14 election night had resulted in Dinn winning by a margin of 102 votes.
The Liberals requested a recount and a Supreme Court judge agreed, saying he was convinced there may have been errors.
The Progressive Conservatives won 21 of 40 seats in the election, edging out the Liberals, who had been in power for 10 years.
The NDP doubled their seat count to two and two Independent candidates were re-elected.
