At first, it was announced that Darryl Kelly, the PC candidate, had won the election by a margin of twelve votes; however, it turned out that this was a mistake and that Dwight Ball, the Liberal candidate, had won by a margin of eighteen votes instead. Turnout was 62 per cent. Due to the close result of the by-election, a judicial recount was ordered for March 1–2, 2007, which resulted in a reduction of Ball's lead to seven votes.In the general election on October 9, however, Kelly defeated Ball by a 254-vote margin.
