Thus, after counting 67.4% of the vote, the ruling Liberal and National Parties (L/NP) coalition won 47.9% of the vote and will receive 52 seats in the lower house of parliament, while the ALP will have 52 % and 71 seats. A party needs 76 seats out of 151 to win a parliamentary majority.
Labor leader Anthony Albanese is expected to be the country’s new prime minister, but on ongoing counting, it’s unclear whether the party will have enough seats for the majority.
