Conservatives face two federal election recounts

Two narrow victories that went to Conservative candidates on election night, involving ridings in Ontario and Prince Edward Island, will be subjected to judicial recounts.

Elections Canada announced today (October 17) that judges will conduct recounts of the federal-election results in Kitchener-Waterloo and Egmont.

Validated results put Conservative candidate Peter Braid ahead of Liberal MP Andrew Telegdi by 48 votes in Kitchener-Waterloo.

In Egmont, Conservative nominee Gail Shea had 62 votes more than Liberal candidate and former P.E.I. premier Keith Milligan.

Yesterday (October 16), Elections Canada announced there will be a judicial recount in Vancouver South, where Liberal MP Ujjal Dosanjh edged out Conservative candidate Wai Young by 33 votes.
