Parti Québécois says it's requesting recount in Montreal-area riding
World2 sources1 country🔦 Under-reported48m ago
The Parti Québécois has announced it is requesting an official recount following a narrow defeat in a Montreal-area riding. In the initial results for the Vachon riding located on Montreal's south shore, PQ candidate Stephan Fogaing finished behind Quebec Liberal candidate Affine Lwalalika by a margin of just 10 votes.
The request comes in the wake of an extremely close electoral contest where the narrow vote differential prompted the party to seek a formal review of the tallies. Official recounts are standard mechanisms in tight legislative races to verify the accuracy of initial election returns.
