The first results in the Northern Territory election are rolling in, showing a swing to the Country Liberal Party .
It was tipped to be a tight race, with Territory Labor chasing a third term and the CLP looking to win enough seats to form government."It looks like a substantial defeat, and it looks like the CLP will win with a majority, and maybe even a substantial majority.""The Labor party result is just under 30 per cent, the CLP is just under 50 per cent, the Greens on 11 and others on 11 .
"Both of these seats take in many remote Aboriginal communities which often poll strongly with Labor, but they also have quite low voter turn-outs."Green says he called the NTEC to check everything was OK, but they just haven't "had anything come through". He says scrutineers are working through the ballot papers and have a "legal obligation to be accurate"."It's been a couple of years since I've done the Northern Territory election and there are fewer small polling places nowadays."You can tune into our live TV broadcast on the ABC 24 News channel .That joins the 82,000-plus early, mobile and postal votes issued during pre-polling.
"I think there's a lot of good candidates so I'm interested to see what they bring and that they can continue with their promises."is prepping to do what he does best: decipher all the numbers and results live as they funnel through from the polling booths.Without that, whichever party comes out on top will need the support of independents to be able to pass laws.
