Elections Alberta says the recount, supervised by an Alberta Court of Queen's Bench justice, confirmed Kazim defeated PC candidate Linda Johnson by six votes — the same margin of victory as the official recount.
Johnson does have until the end of the business day on Wednesday, June 3, to decide whether to appeal the result of the judicial recount.
The election result will not be official until the appeal period expires, at which point Kazim would be eligible to be sworn in as the 53rd NDP MLA in Alberta.
