Labor leader Anthony Albanese is set to become Australia’s 31st prime minister. Albanese would be the first prime minister in Australian history outside of Anglo-Celtic background. Scott Morrison, meanwhile, congratulated Albanese and conceded defeat, and announced his resignation as the party’s parliamentary leader.

Albanian Labor is expected to win 77 seats, while Morrison’s Liberal-National Alliance is expected to win 59 seats.

In order to win the election, one has to ensure victory in at least 76 seats in the 151-seat House of Representatives.

The main contenders in this election are the ruling Liberal-National Coalition and the Labor Party, but the environmentalist party Greens has four seats and the crossbenchers have 11 seats.

As of the writing of this report, however, the Australian Electoral Commission has officially announced that Labor has won 63 seats and the Coalition 51 seats.

Scott Morrison, meanwhile, congratulated Albanese on conceding defeat despite winning his seat. In a speech at the party office, he congratulated Albanese on his election victory, saying “tonight is a disappointment for the Liberals-Nationals.”

The Greens won more votes than ever before. They have lost prominent candidates from both the Liberal and Labor parties in the flood-hit area of ​​Queensland.

Greens leader Adam Bandit expects their seats in the House of Representatives to increase. He said the election mandate was against climate change and inequality.

Meanwhile, a significant number of independent candidates are vying for seats in the House of Representatives. The victory of independent candidates Joe Daniel and Allegra Spender is expected to have a huge impact on parliament.

Treasurer Josh Frydenberg has lost to independent candidate Dr Monique Ryan by a narrow margin.

Zali Steggall, an independent candidate who won the Warringah seat, said the coalition lost so many votes in this election that it was clear that climate change was a big issue for the people.

Leading candidates won include Labor’s Bill Shorten, Jim Chalmers, Coalition’s Peter Dutton, Alan Taze and Bernabe Joyce.

Craig Kelly, the United Australia Party candidate who came out of the Liberals, has suffered a tragic defeat. Another prominent candidate in the Senate is Pauline Hanson of the One Nation Party.

Meanwhile, Labor’s Penny Wong is set to become the leader of the ruling party in the Senate and is expected to become federal foreign minister.

Penny Wong said Labor’s victory had raised hopes.
