Election recount in Toronto riding stopped, Liberals confirmed as victors

0

Elections Canada says a ballot recount in the federal┬аToronto┬аriding of Davenport has been halted, with the Liberals confirmed as winners.

The New Democrats asked that votes be recounted after the Liberal┬аcandidate edged her NDP rival by only 76 votes in the Sept. 20┬аgeneral election.

The recount was stopped after it became clear, while votes were being tallied, that the result would be the same.

As a result, incumbent Julie Dzerowicz holds the seat for the Liberals over the NDP’s Alejandra Bravo.

The Liberals said Dzerowicz had fought a strong, positive campaign and was looking forward to serving her┬аToronto constituents.

Davenport was the last recount to be completed, and now all general election results have been confirmed.
