Labor is on track to scrape back into power in the ACT alongside the Greens despite losing ground to the Liberals.

As counting continued, ABC election guru Antony Green called the result for the Labor-Greens coalition at 9.15pm local time on Saturday.

Despite his party suffering a negative 3.3per cent swing, the result means Labor leader Andrew Barr will extend his record reign as chief minister beyond a decade.

With 13 seats the magic number to form government in the 25-member Legislative Assembly, Labor appears to have won 10seats and the Greens three.

Labor managed to hold onto all its seats from the 2020 election.

By comparison, the Greens suffered a smaller swing against them of 1.7 per cent, but due to the nature of the Hare-Clark system, shed half their seats.

The Liberals were on track to pick up one seat under leader Elizabeth Lee, likely to end up with 10 members.

But it was not enough to topple the 23-year-old government, with much of the vote share lost by Labor and the Greens soaked up by independents.

Fiona Carrick in the electorate of Murrumbidgee and Thomas Emerson in Kurrajong were on track to become the first independents elected in the ACT since 1998.
