Newfoundland riding flips to Conservatives after judicial recount

  • After a judicial recount concluded on May 23, 2025, Jonathan Rowe, the Conservative candidate, secured victory in the Terra Nova—The Peninsulas electoral district of Newfoundland and Labrador.
  • The recount was conducted because the preliminary election results showed Liberal Anthony Germain leading by 12 votes, a margin slim enough to prompt an automatic judicial recount.
  • The final results showed Rowe with 19,605 votes, Germain with 19,593, and 819 ballots rejected, leading to Rowe's victory by a 12-vote margin and giving the Conservatives a third seat in the province.
  • Germain posted on social media that the recount ended differently than they had hoped, expressed gratitude to his supporters, and congratulated Rowe following their conversation after the results were finalized.
  • This seat change brings the Liberal Party’s total to 169 seats, just below the threshold for a majority, and increases the Conservatives’ count to 144 seats, potentially impacting the federal balance of power.
