The Liberal party retains former prime minister Scott Morrison's federal seat of Cook, with candidate Simon Kennedy winning well over two thirds of the vote.
Liberal Simon Kennedy has won the by-election in the federal seat of Cook , vacated by former prime minister Scott Morrison .Earlier in the day Mr Morrison posted a social video with Mr Kennedy.
The contest to fill the seat of the former prime minister and Cook MP has been largely uneventful with no Labor candidate contesting the seat. It was a fact that NSW Liberal leader Mark Speakman appeared to be unaware of, as he made small talk with Mr Kennedy for the cameras.The Australian Electoral Commission had been concerned with voter apathy earlier in the week, with voter turnout down around 13 per cent from past events.
