OTTAWA — A judicial recount has confirmed the election of the Conservative Ted Opitz in the Toronto-area riding of Etobicoke Centre.
Elections Canada says the final tally shows that Opitz defeated Liberal incumbent Borys Wrzesnewskyj by 26 votes.
Opitz received 21,644 votes on May 2 to Wrzesnewskyj’s 21,618.
The recount does not change the standings in the new House of Commons.
