Labor’s Zaneta Mascarenhas is likely to retain her Swan seat, leading with 35.68% of the vote against Liberal candidate Mic Fels at 31.97% as votes were reported. The seat, previously held by the Liberals since 2007, became a Labor stronghold in 2022, and a redistribution increased her margin to 9.4%. Despite Fels’ challenge, Mascarenhas expressed gratitude for community support and positivity on election night, while Fels remained focused and calm about the competition.
