Labour's Rachel Boyack says she's delighted with the final count result for her Nelson seat, but acknowledges it’s a small margin.
On the official count, she leapfrogged National's Blair Cameron to win the seat by 29 votes.
Boyack told Andrew Dickens she's received notification from her National opponent he'll seek a recount for the Nelson seat.
“My expectation is that’ll happen reasonably quickly, and I’m still very hopeful I will retain the seat.”
