After a judicial recount in the Frame Lake and Yellowknife North constituency, it has been confirmed that incumbent Kevin O'Reilly and newcomer Rylund Johnson have won their seats.
Elections NWT has confirmed through their Twitter account that both results have remained unchanged.
The recount was triggered after there was less than 2 per cent of ballots cast difference between their respective opponents.
O'Reilly won Frame Lake with 357 votes compared to Ramsay's 346.
