For the first time in nearly a decade, Queensland will be run by the Liberal National Party (LNP) as David Crisafulli led his party to a nail biting victory.

While the result was meant to be a Labor wipe-out, the LNP have likely only just secured enough seats to take power from the former government for the first time since 2015.
