Surprise twist in Bradfield nail-biter vote count

  • The vote count in the Sydney seat of Bradfield has entered a nail-biting stage in May 2025 with candidate Gisele Kapterian narrowly leading over independent Nicolette Boele.
  • The close count follows Paul Fletcher's retirement and Kapterian's late 2024 candidacy installation, while Boele retains strong local support after nearly winning in 2022.
  • Kapterian led by over 200 votes at one point, boosted by postal votes, but her margin has recently narrowed to just 43 votes, triggering possible recount conditions.
  • A margin under 100 votes will cause a mandatory full recount per Australian Electoral Commission rules, and Boele declared to supporters that "we have made Australian political history."
  • The final outcome could include a recount, court review, or even a by-election, reflecting that traditional safe seats like Bradfield offer no guaranteed results anymore.
