Ottawans elected three new faces to the provincial legislature on Thursday, one of whom helped the Liberal Party of Ontario grab an extra seat at Queen's Park.
When the election was called, the Liberals held only nine seats across the entire province, and four of those were held by Ottawa Liberal MPPs.
The party retained that quartet of seats on Thursday but also secured a fifth one in the formerly Conservative riding of Nepean thanks to Tyler Watt, a health-care worker.
Watt succeeds Lisa MacLeod of the Progressive Conservatives, who announced in September she wouldn't be running again in her longtime riding.
