The drama over the territorial election results for the Vuntut Gwitchin riding is over. For the moment, anyway.
Following a judicial review late Monday afternoon at the Whitehorse courthouse which led to a drawing of lots to break the 78-78 tie in ballots, Annie Blake of the NDP emerged as the winner and MLA-designate.
She defeated Pauline Frost, the Liberal minister of Health and Social Services and Environment.
The NDP’s gain casts a new wrinkle for the incoming government, likely to be led by Premier Sandy Silver’s Liberals.
The final results from the April 12 election leave the Liberals with eight seats, the Yukon Party with eight seats and the NDP with three seats.
