Albanese’s Labor Party Retains Power in Western Australia

The Western Australian Labor Party won a historic third consecutive term in state government by winning 41 seats, marking the first time any party has won three consecutive state elections in Western Australia since the 1980s.
Labor's election victory follows a challenging campaign for the Liberal Party, which gained only five seats, leaving them as the state opposition after failing to reclaim previous strongholds.
WA Labor's success, despite an 11% swing against them, was attributed to voters prioritizing issues such as cost of living, housing, health, and climate action.
