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.

I applaud the budget, even though Health Care and education may stay unscathed. Sadly this cannot last and I worry to later this year where cuts will become enviable. If anything, this provides the Wildrose Alliance plenty of ammo when an election is called.
