2023 NSW STATE ELECTIONS  March 25, 2023 Photo Dean Sewell Liberal MP for Penrith Stuart Ayres has arrived at the party’s official after party in that seat, where Herald reporter Harriet Alexander is stationed. Ayres arrived with his wife and federal Liberal senator Marise Payne, or as he described her, “the tall redhead that’s standing beside me”. Ayres will not concede tonight. He said the NSW Electoral Commission had told him that two big pre-polling stations would not be counted tonight and therefore there will not be a result. “I don’t want to sugarcoat this,” Ayres said. “It’s a narrow path, but we need the Electoral Commission to do its work over the coming days. We’ve seen across the state that it’s a pretty ugly night but here in Penrith we are still fighting.”
