"Anthony Albanese has claimed victory for his Labor Party on Saturday night after incumbent Prime Minister Scott Morrison conceded defeat in Australia's 2022 federal election.
In his speech, Morrison said he had spoken to Albanese to congratulate him on his victory."
The Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) on Saturday night projected Labor would form a government for the first time since 2013, with Albanese becoming the country's 31st prime minister.
The result marks an end to the Coalition's nearly-nine-year hold on power and Morrison's tenure as prime minister.
