Independent MP Rebekha Sharkie looks to have comfortably held her seat of Mayo in the 3 May federal election and will continue to represent the electorate covering Kangaroo Island, the Fleurieu and Adelaide Hills.

She will return to a very different House of Representatives when Parliament resumes, the Australian Labor Party (ALP) with a landslide victory to a second term of government.

The vote count is not yet final in Mayo, a rise in the Labor vote delaying allocation of preferences.

Ms Sharkie won 30 per cent of the primary vote in Mayo, down slightly on the 2022 election; the Liberal vote was also down, Zane Basic winning 24 per cent of primary votes, down by 3 percent.

In keeping with the national swing from Labor to Liberal, the ALP’s Marisa Bell increased her vote by more than 3 percent to 21 per cent, while the Greens vote also increased slightly to just over 13 per cent.

Mayo is one of 10 federal seats in South Australia; only one SA seat changed hands at this election, the ALP taking the metropolitan seat of Sturt for the first time.

There were swings of up to 10 per cent to Labor and away from the Liberals in all the state’s seats.

Of the six Senate vacancies, on first preference votes counted so far, the ALP has secured two with a third likely; the Liberals have secured one seat, with a second likely; and the Greens have retained their seat.
