Victoria (Vicki) Huntington is a Canadian politician who was first elected to the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia in 2009 as an Independent candidate for Delta South.
In initial results on election night, opponent Wally Oppal led by a margin of just two votes over Huntington.[1] On May 26, 2009, the recount revealed that Huntington had defeated Oppal by 32 votes. The result in Delta South was subject to an automatic judicial recount because the margin of victory was fewer than one-500th of all votes cast. Huntington won the judicial re-count to become the first Independent elected to the B.C. provincial legislature since the general election of 1949.[2]
