MP Kristina Tesser Derksen Talks About Waiting For The Vote Recount

September 29, 2025

The 2025 Canadian federal election took place on April 28th... and one of the most controversial ridings in the country was a new one, and just happened to be right here in Halton. Milton east / Halton hills south was a hotly contested riding with the two front runners being liberal candidate Kristina Tesser Derksen and conservative candidate and former mp and MPP, Parm Gill. The unofficial results posted on election night showed that Parm Gill had won the redrawn riding by 298 votes. but after validating the numbers, elections Canada then reported reported that liberal Kristina Tesser Derksen won by 29 votes. Then it went to a full recount... which eventually saw Kristina Tesser Derksen win by 21 votes. but the process itself was not quick, and thus Jason Agnew took her back to that time and asked what she did while she waited for those votes to be re-counted?
