ST. JOHN S, N.L. The leader of Newfoundland and Labrador s NDP has requested a recount in her district after losing her seat in last Saturday s election by 53 votes. Alison Coffin tweeted pictures of herself Thursday filing the necessary paperwork at the Supreme Court of Newfoundland and Labrador in St. John s. Coffin lost her seat to Liberal John Abbott in the St. John s East-Quidi Vidi district, which has long been an NDP stronghold. Party president Kyle Rees says the recount request isn t necessarily about getting the seat back. Whether or not it makes a difference in terms of the result, it s important for the sake of democracy that we verify the result, he said in a statement to The Canadian Press on Thursday.
