First (interim) arrangement

Although the landslide victory of Finocchiaro's Country Liberal Party was beyond doubt, counting in several seats was still underway. For this reason, Finocchiaro had herself and CLP deputy leader Gerard Maley sworn in as an interim two-person government on 28 August 2024 until the full ministry could be named.{{cite news|url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-08-28/nt-lia-finocchiaro-holds-20-portfolios-under-interim-cabinet/104279032|title=NT Chief Minister Lia Finocchiaro to temporarily hold 20 portfolios while selecting new cabinet|author1=Samantha Dick|publisher=ABC News|date=28 August 2024}}
