Liberal Tim Louis re-elected in Kitchener-Conestoga
CBC
Liberal Tim Louis has been declared the winner in Kitchener-Conestoga in Monday's federal election.
The results are among some of the last to be reported in the country after a very close race between Louis and Conservative Carlene Hawley. Louis won with 528 votes more than Hawley, preliminary numbers show. The final vote tally still needs to be confirmed by Elections Canada.
Until Thursday, when mail-in and special ballots were counted, Louis has a slight lead of 174 votes over Hawley.
With counting still underway, Hawley said in an email to CBC Kitchener-Waterloo Tuesday afternoon that she was disappointed in the results.
"We are not anticipating a win at this point from the mail-in ballots," she wrote. "I'm ever grateful to my family and the many volunteers that supported the campaign."
This is the third election where the riding has seen a very tight race between the Liberals and the Conservatives.
In 2015, Conservative incumbent Harold Albrecht beat Louis by 251 votes.
