Incumbent Liberal MP Dave Sharma has 29 per cent of votes so far, while Ms Spender holds 43.7 per cent of total counted votes.

Supporters of independent Wentworth challenger Allegra Spender are feeling confident of taking the NSW seat from the Liberals as vote counting continues.

"He's the prime minister. He's the leader of our party, he's got 151 potential electorates to campaign in ... he's got to go where he can have most impact," Mr Sharma told Sky News. "I can be an independent who stands for the values of this community," she told the ABC. Speaking outside a polling booth in the electorate, Mr Sharma defended Mr Morrison's decision to stay out of the seat, saying he had received lots of support from senior cabinet ministers. The prime minister steered clear of Wentworth during the election campaign, and instead Treasurer Josh Frydenberg appeared with Mr Sharma in the area. Mr Ireland, a Bondi local, cited climate change and a federal anti-corruption body as reasons for backing the independent in the hotly-contested fight.
