Liberal Curtin candidate Tom White is refusing to concede in a speech to supporters.
Addressing the Liberal Party faithful at 8.40pm, he said there was still too many votes to be counted.
“The path to victory may be difficult,” he said.
“There are tens of thousands of votes still to be counted.
“There are 10,000 postal votes to be counted.
“And we are not seeing swings in Curtin that we are seeing elsewhere.
“We won’t be calling this election any time soon: at least not on these current numbers.”
Although the seat of Curtin has not yet been called, Independent MP Kate Chaney is feeling confident.
“We’re not calling it yet, but I’m so proud of the campaign that we’ve run and the incredible volunteer energy that has driven this community movement.,” she told Sky News.
“No matter what the government looks like, I will do what I’ve done for the last three years, and that is assess every piece of legislation and act in accordance with the values of Curtin.”
