WA VOTES: Roger Cook has been elected Western Australian Premier, leading WA Labor to a third consecutive election win which will extend its tenure at Dumas House to at least 12 years.
The WA public has delivered another emphatic election night win for the Labor Party and, in the process, delivered Premier Roger Cook a win in his own right which will give him a strong mandate for the next four years.
***accurate as of 10pm Saturday. Counting to continue on Sunday***
Mr Cook declared victory close to 9.30pm, paying his respects to traditional owners, the Labor Party's female candidates, and those few MPs who have lost their seats tonight.
He also thanked his family, and Labor's volunteers for their work on the campaign.
