The Tasmanian Liberal Party is set to take majority government, 11 days after the state election, says ABC election analyst Antony Green.

With the distribution of preferences still underway, the Liberals are certain to win a crucial second seat in the Hobart-based electorate of Clark.

That gives the Liberal team, led by Peter Gutwein, the 13 seats needed for a majority in the 25-seat House of Assembly.

Green says Madeleine Ogilvie, a former Labor member who turned independent and is now a Liberal, will be elected as the second Liberal member in Clark.

The fifth seat will be won by independent Kristie Johnston.

More to come.
