Counting underway in the Nightcliff by-election in Darwin | ABC NEWS
Vote counting has started in Nightcliff, with the Greens trying to hold on to the marginal seat it won from Labor by just 36 votes in the 2024 Northern Territory election. The by-election was triggered in February by the resignation of Greens politician Kat McNamara for health reasons. Ms McNamara became the first Green to win a seat in the NT Parliament when she claimed Nightcliff by just 36 votes in the 2024 general election. Four candidates are vying to replace her, including Suki Dorras-Walker from the Greens, independent Phil Scott, Labor’s Ed Smelt and Anjan Paudel from the CLP.
