Incumbent Labor MP Rob Mitchell has retained the federal McEwen seat.
At the conclusion of counting on Monday morning, Mr Mitchell was 346 votes ahead of Liberal Donna Petrovich on a two-party preferred basis.
Speaking to the Weekly, Mr Mitchell said he was glad the count was finally over.
“It’s been a massive couple of weeks which has been very up and down,” he said.
“At the end of the count with no more votes to count the lead is 346 votes.
“I am very happy at where I am (at the end of counting), but I still won’t claim it until the AEC makes it official.”
Ms Petrovich congratulated Mr Mitchell on retaining the seat.
“It has been a long, challenging and extremely close count since election day, however as the final ballots are tallied I concede that Labor has retained the seat,” she said.
“I’m humbled by the support I have received across the McEwen community throughout this journey.
“Leaving the State Parliament to contest the federal seat of McEwen was driven by my desire to continue serving the community and deliver real outcomes for this diverse region.”
