Kirkfield Park recount confirms NDP win

A judicial recount has confirmed a election night victory by the Manitoba New Democrats in the Kirkfield Park constituency.

The recount today gave the NDP's Sharon Blady 21 more votes than Tory Kelly de Groot.

That's five votes less than the election night count Oct. 4.

The result means the NDP maintains a strong majority, with 37 of the 57 legislature seats.

The Tories have 19 seats and the Liberals have one.

The only other seat to undergo a recount, St. Norbert, also remained under the New Democrats earlier this week.
