WA Election Results Live Updates 2021: Winner | Polls nearly closed | Huge early voting turnout | McGowan expected to win in landslide | Kirkup could lose seat

Liberal leader Zak Kirkup has joined 9News just ahead of polls closing.

He told 9News “the mood was a lot more positive then the polls and media were predicting” as he battles to hold onto his seat.

When asked what he would consider to be a good result for the Liberals, Mr Kirkup said: “We need to make sure we get as many Liberals elected as possible. I don’t have a number, all I know is there is a prospect of a Labor landslide and a Labor party in total control and we need as many Liberals as possible, so we can keep those important checks and balances.”
