Liberals Mount Court Challenge in Last Ditch Bid to Reclaim Bradfield
SYDNEY, NEW SOUTH WALES, JUL 14 – The NSW Liberal Party seeks a court-ordered recount after losing Bradfield by 26 votes amid an administrative error and weeks of uncertainty, aiming to confirm voter intentions.
- Nicolette Boele was declared winner of the Sydney seat of Bradfield on June 4 after a recount showed her ahead by 26 votes.
- The initial count had Liberal Giselle Kapterian leading by eight votes, triggering a full recount under Australian Electoral Commission policy.
- Kapterian stated she does not question the electoral system's integrity and will request a targeted examination of 'line ball' ballots to ensure voter intent.
- Over 118,000 ballots were cast with Boele receiving 50.01% and Kapterian 49.99%, while Kapterian said the challenge aims to reflect the 'true wishes of the voters'.
- The Liberal Party plans to challenge the result in the Court of Disputed Returns, which could revise or void the outcome and potentially prompt another poll.
