High profile Liberal MP Ujjal Dosanjh will hold onto his seat in Vancouver South after a judicial recount awarded him a 22-vote victory Friday.
The recount was ordered when the final tally in last week's federal election showed Dosanjh beat Conservative candidate Wai Young by just 33 votes.
The recount began behind closed doors at 9 a.m. Friday morning.
Meanwhile, a judicial recount is expected to start on Monday for the riding of Esquimalt-Juan de Fuca, where incumbent Liberal Keith Martin bested Conservative candidate Troy DeSouza.
Recounts are automatically ordered by Elections Canada when a candidate wins by less than 0.1 per cent of total votes.

The chance of the destruction of our planet is very very small with this collider, but who are these people to decide what risks are acceptable for all of mankind? It puts me at unease and adds to my anxiety. CERN acknowledges that there are miniscule risks -- they admit to it so please spare the convoluted retorts.
