Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has declared victory in the 2016 federal election, putting an end to a chaotic race that revealed growing divisions within the country.Mr. Turnbull declared victory on Sunday after results showed his Liberal-National coalition was on pace for a slim minority government. The conservative coalition was predicted to win 74 seats, just short of the 76 it needs to form a majority.“This is a great day,” Mr. Turnbull said in a press conference shortly after opposition Labor leader Bill Shorten conceded defeat. “We have resolved this election and have done so peacefully. It’s something we should celebrate and not take for granted.”The tight election defied Mr. Turnbull’s call for stability in the aftermath of last month’s Brexit vote, which sent shockwaves throughout the globe. The Labor party was predicted to win 66 seats, a significant improvement over the 2013 result.The conservative coalition has expressed confidence that it will have enough seats to govern with a majority after declaring it had won support of three independent politicians.
