The NDP’s Georgina Jolibois’ win in the Desnethé-Missinippi-Churchill River riding stands after a judicial recount was completed on Tuesday.
On election night, Jolibois won with just 71 votes over Liberal Lawrence Joseph. The recount now shows a difference of 82.
According to Elections Canada, an automatic recount would occur if there was a gap of .001 between votes. In this instance, that would mean a difference of 30 votes or less.
With 70 votes between the two parties, a recount was requested by the Liberal Party.
