It was predicted that Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese would be re-elected on Saturday. It would make him the country’s first leader to win consecutive elections in 21 years. According to Australian Broadcasting Corp. estimates, Albanese will begin his second term as a Labour hero after leading his party to consecutive election triumphs. At this point, it’s unclear if he will need to rely on independents and smaller parties or establish a majority administration.
Albanese turned around surveys at the beginning of the year that indicated he was going to lose by running an almost flawless campaign against opposition leader Peter Dutton. During its first term, the centre-left government faced challenges like high interest rates, sticky inflation, and a housing shortage that may cause a reaction from voters.
Australian Election Result Summary
- Anthony Albanese has been congratulated by world leaders. Congratulations included by the prime ministers of India and the United Kingdom. For winning a second term as prime minister of Australia.
- The head of the centre-left Labour Party has achieved a stunning triumph to become the first incumbent to win back-to-back elections in over 20 years, despite months of falling behind the conservative opposition in opinion polls.
- Liberal Party opposition leader Peter Dutton has assured his followers that he takes “full responsibility” for the dismal outcome. This will see Labour win a majority government.
