Labor's Nicole Manison wins Wanguri

Published: 04:00:07 AM, Fri 15 February 2013 UTC

Nicole Manison has won an overwhelming victory for Labor in the Northern Territory by-election for the seat of Wanguri.

Final figures for Saturday, released by the Northern Territory Electoral Commission, show Manison leads with 69.7 per cent on a two-party-preferred basis.

The figures show the CLP's Rhianna Harker at 30.3 per cent.

Voter turnout in the electorate in Darwin's northern suburbs was 76.3 per cent.

The by-election was sparked by the resignation of former chief minister Paul Henderson.

The electoral commission says a check of all counts will take place on Sunday, when a decision on the timing of the declaration of the poll will be confirmed.
