Gordon Coates continued as
Prime Minister, with his
Reform Party winning an outright majority of 30.
Leonard Isitt and
George Witty were both appointed to the
Legislative Council by
Gordon Coates on 28 October 1925; shortly before the election on 4 November. Both were
Liberals but their retirement removed "a source of some bitterness from the Party's ranks".
Gordon Coates was Reform, and both of their former seats went to
Reform candidates. After the election both Labour and Liberals held 11 seats. A tie at 4,900 votes each in (between the Labour and Reform candidates) was eventually settled in Labour's favour on 13 March 1926. After winning the 15 April in , Labour became the official opposition.
