Liberal MP Brenda Shanahan was re-elected to represent Châteauguay-Lacolle after a judicial recount placed her ahead of her Bloc Québécois rival, Patrick O’Hara.
The Liberal Party of Canada said it won the riding of Châteauguay-Lacolle after a very close judicial recount.
MP Brenda Shanahan will continue to represent the riding in the House of Commons.
The national co-chair of the Liberal campaign, Mélanie Joly, immediately welcomed the news on Twitter.
“It was a close race that collectively reminds us that every vote counts,” Joly said.
“So it’s official, the Liberals maintained all its 35 seats in Quebec and won 160 in Canada,” she said.
The first election results indicated that Shanahan had obtained 286 fewer votes than her rival, Patrick O’Hara of the Bloc Québécois.
She finally won the seat by only 12 votes.
