Late vote counting of incomplete early voting centres and remote mobile polling booths on Sunday have pushed the LNP’s David Kempton further ahead as the winner of the seat of Cook.

As of Sunday night with 66.3 per cent of the vote counted, Mr Kempton enjoyed a 9.8 per cent swing on the primary vote to lead Labor’s Cynthia Lui 7875 votes to 7665, but by 2101 votes in the preference counting, a swing of 12 per cent to LNP.

Mr Kempton is understood to have watched the initially tight race for leadership of Cook, and his party sweep to power in the Queensland State Election from a hotel in Port Douglas on Saturday night.

With 67.9 per cent of the vote counted at 8am Monday, the LNP had secured 48 seats, with 30 seats to Labor and 10 seats remaining in doubt.

Former Labor Premier Steven Miles had refused to concede defeat on Saturday night but called LNP leader David Crisafulli Sunday morning to concede defeat.

In Cook, Mr Kempton, the only LNP candidate to have won the Labor stronghold, at the 2012 election, enjoyed a swing of 9.8 per cent (12 per cent on preferences) while the swing away from Labor incumbent Cynthia Lui was -7.1 per cent.

Ms Lui visited both the Port Douglas and Mossman polling stations on Saturday morning before attending through the afternoon at Mareeba and then to Cairns to join other Far North candidates as votes were counted.

“Whatever the outcome, I’ve given it everything,’’ she told Newsport.

“This is my third election and I think it was quite respectful and fair. All candidates are driven by the same overall goals and to get the same outcome.’’

Katter’s Australian Party candidate for Cook, Duane “Mossy” Amos, was onsite at Mossman with wife Cathy and speaking to voters.

“I’m a people person,’’ he said.

“The people come up with the products and it is up to the politicians to get the job done of putting them in place.’’
