The Country Liberal party (CLP) will govern in the Northern Territory, after a massive swing against the incumbent Labor party.
Voting booths slowed to a trickle in the Northern Territory (NT) as the sweltering afternoon wore on. With 6.6% of the vote counted, the CLP had a 13.8% swing on a two-party preferred basis.
Territory electorates consist of just slightly more than 6,000 voters, often making margins in the 25 seats extremely tight.
The “others” consist of one Green Party member and three independents. Looks like Labor will be in opposition for at least a couple of terms, 17 out of 25 is a big majority.
