Greens on track to lose several MPs as independents hold off challenges and gain votes in federal election

The Greens faced a major blow in the 2025 Australian federal election, losing key seats including Adam Bandt and several urban areas despite hopes for expanded influence. While they managed narrow wins in regional regions like Wann, their loss of nearly half their seats highlighted ongoing struggles to gain traction in urban centers. Meanwhile, Labor retained safe seats such as Macnamara and Watson, with independents Ahmed Ouf and Ziad Basyouny posing challenges. The election underscores the competitive nature of swing voters and how regional demographics shape political outcomes.
