Wentworth: Kerryn Phelps to concede defeat to Dave Sharma

Kerryn Phelps is planning to concede defeat to the Liberal Dave Sharma following Saturday’s federal election.

Ms Phelps won the seat in the October by-election following Turnbull’s resignation.

With about 75 per cent of the ballots Mr Sharma leads by almost 2,000 votes.

The ABC reports a spokesman for Dr Phelps said she was “not disputing” the result and would make a statement at 12.00pm.
