The Labor Party took the lead early in the count and in record time, was deemed to take the leadership of NSW, winning 46 seats. There is a requirement to hold a majority government of 47 seats and at the time of printing, there were still 6 seats yet to be decided across NSW.
In the electorates of Orange, MP Phil Donato retained his seat as an independant. Mr Donato, won the Orange electorate comfortably and had this to say to the electorate. “I am truly humbled and honoured to be re-elected as the State Member for Orange.
“The level of support from the community I received was amazing. Being your local state representative is a responsibility and commitment I take seriously to represent this beautiful part of NSW and its people for another term.
“I would also like to thank all my supporters, and the hundreds of volunteers who helped across the electorate last weekend. It was a mammoth effort, of which I am sincerely appreciative.
It doesn’t matter where you live across the electorate, I will continue my style of representation, being accessible, available and approachable to help with any issues you need assistance with.
Thank you again for placing your trust in me to continue representing you as your local State Member. It is a privilege and an absolute honour.”
