Conservative Clifford Small wins Coast of Bays-Central-Notre Dame
CBC
Conservative candidate Clifford Small has defeated Liberal Scott Simms in the riding of Coast of Bays-Central-Notre Dame, winning by 264 votes, according to the CBC Decision Desk on Friday.
Small is the first federal Conservative candidate to win in all of Newfoundland and Labrador since 2011.
In an interview with CBC News on Tuesday, Small said he was "confident" he would win the race, even as his lead on Simms, who has been the Liberal MP for the riding since 2004, began to shrink.
The final result was ultimately determined by the 2,134 special ballots counted in the days following the election.
Small emerged with 47 per cent of the vote with 14,925 votes, while Simms had 46 per cent with 14,661 votes.
NDP candidate Jamie Ruby had 7 per cent of the vote with 2,261 votes.
Coast of Bays-Central-Notre Dame is now the only riding in Newfoundland and Labrador without a Liberal MP; however, Conservative vote share also grew in other parts of the province in the 2021 federal election.
