US EditionResults From Federal Election Recount in Rural Newfoundland Riding Expected Friday
- A judicial recount in the Terra Nova-The Peninsulas electoral district in rural Newfoundland concluded on Friday with Conservative Jonathan Rowe declared the winner, narrowly defeating Liberal candidate Anthony Germain by a margin of 12 votes.
- The recount occurred because the initial April 28 count had Germain ahead by 12 votes, triggering an automatic process of over 41,000 ballots in 279 boxes due to the narrow margin.
- The recount began on May 12 in Marystown, required closing public buildings and shutting off water for chlorination plant work, and extended beyond the expected three days to nine days before completion.
- Elections Canada spokesperson Matthew McKenna confirmed vote counting had paused midweek under Justice Garrett Handrigan’s oversight, with the winner declared after Handrigan’s decision.
- Rowe's victory shifts the provincial seat count to three Conservatives and four Liberals, adjusting House of Commons totals to 169 Liberal seats and 144 Conservative seats, leaving the Liberals three short of a majority.
