WINNIPEG - A judicial recount has confirmed a election night victory by the Manitoba New Democrats in the Kirkfield Park constituency.

The recount today gave the NDP's Sharon Blady (BLAY'-dee) 21 more votes than Tory Kelly de Groot.

That's five votes less than the election nigth count Oct. 4.

The result means the NDP maintains a strong majority, with 37 of the 57 legislature seats.

The Tories have 19 seats and the Liberals have one.

The only other seat to undergo a recount, St. Norbert, also remained under the New Democrats earlier this week.
