Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has secured a second term in office following Australia’s federal election, with preliminary counts indicating a nationwide shift in favor of his Australian Labor Party.
However, whether Labor will govern with a clear majority remains uncertain, according to local media reports.
Early tallies point to a decline in support for the opposition Liberal-National Coalition, led by Peter Dutton, as voters appear to have backed Labor across several key electorates.
The results highlight a continuing appetite for the progressive platform Albanese has championed since taking office.
As counting continues, attention also turns to voter mood, key seat turnovers, and of course, Australia’s unique tradition of the “democracy sausage”, a beloved election-day staple.
Stay tuned as we unpack the evolving results..
