Labor's third successive runaway victory in WA has prompted a conservative leader to liken the electoral wipe out to a drug addict hitting rock bottom.
Latest counting in Saturday's poll shows Labor has won 41 seats, the Liberals five and the Nationals four, according to ABC News.
Nationals Leader Shane Love says it is time for his party and the Liberals to work more closely together, describing the result as "rock-bottom".
"It's like (a) drug addict finally realising they have to change," Mr Love told the ABC.
"What we do need to do is work more closely together so that we are not wasting resources battling each other and that were in fact combing our efforts to overturn the Labor government.
"Both parties have to very early accept there needs to be a close working relationship."
The Liberals are also dissecting the result, with leader Libby Mettam declaring she is "not willing to be a seat warmer" amid speculation about her job.
She said the Liberals should determine who will be the leader.
"If my colleagues want me to lead them to 2029 then I will ... but to suggest we have one leader now and then for that leader to be replaced further down the track ... I'm not prepared to be a seat warmer," she told ABC radio on Monday.
Results in nine seats remain in doubt, including Fremantle where the Labor incumbent Simone McGurk and Climate 200-backed independent Kate Hulett are running neck and neck.
Labor's win follows its unprecedented triumph in 2021 when the party won 53 of 59 seats in the WA lower house.
But the inevitable swing against Labor, which is about 18 per cent with 64 per cent of the vote counted, has been shared between the Liberals, Nationals, Greens, One Nation and independents.
That's meant the Liberals haven't clawed back all its previous strongholds as expected.
Mr Love called for the state electoral commissioner to be suspended and a parliamentary inquiry with reports some voters were turned away from polling booths.
Voters were reportedly forced to queue for hours to cast their ballot and some polling stations ran out of ballot papers.
"It's my view that the first act of the new parliament ... should be to suspend the electoral commissioner and to initiate a full parliamentary inquiry into the conduct of the 2025 state election," Mr Love said.
WA Electoral Commissioner Robert Kennedy previously announced the claims would be investigated, but Mr Love said that wasn't good enough.
"That would be like asking the fox to review the security of the hen house," he said.
Mr Love said many voters would be surprised to learn a Singapore-based firm had been involved in the running of the election.
Premier Roger Cook on Sunday said the long wait times and lack of ballot papers was unacceptable.
"We were disappointed with the (electoral commission's) running of the election yesterday (on Saturday) and I'm sure a lot of people shared our frustration," he said.
