Queensland LNP leader Tim Nicholls has called on Annastacia Palaszczuk to let him be Premier if she cannot get a majority in the election, which Mr Nicholls says is not yet over.

Making his first in-depth comments on the close results, a defiant Mr Nicholls reminded Ms Palaszczuk that she vowed to go into Opposition, rather than govern in minority.

Ms Palaszczuk has said she is confident of getting the 47 seats needed, with latest counting putting Labor on 44 seats, and ahead in three others.

But Mr Nicholls said it looked harder and harder for the ALP to reach that target.

"The real question for Annastacia Palaszczuk today is if she does not get to that 47-seat number, will she keep her word?" he said.

"Will she do the right thing and will she go into Opposition and invite the LNP to attempt to form a government?

"This election is not yet over. The counting has swayed since Saturday night, and seats that people thought weren't going to be in play are clearly in play."

However, Mr Nicholls' scenario would depend on the current projections changing, with the ABC election computer predicting 47 seats for Labor, 40 for the LNP, and six crossbenchers.

An LNP minority government would also need the unlikely support of Labor-leaning independent Margaret Strelow, and possibly Green MP Michael Berkman.

But Mr Nicholls said the LNP should not be counted out.

"I never thought we were out of the game," he said.

"People are making all their predictions. I think there's going to be a few people with egg on their faces.

"This is an election that we haven't seen in Queensland for the better part of 20 years. New seats, compulsory preferential voting, new parties.

"That's why I've always been very careful to make sure that we need to wait until the count has come in."

Mr Nicholls and his Kingaroy-based deputy Deb Frecklington also rejected calls for the LNP to split in the wake of the state election.

Some former Nationals have said the merged party was not able to handle the way One Nation split the conservative vote.

But Mr Nicholls said the LNP represented the south-east and the regions.

"There will be no doubt many commentators and commentaries in relation to elections, that happens all the time," he said.

"But what I know is that at a state level, the LNP has the capacity to represent Queensland from the north to the south and from the east to the west."

Ms Frecklington said no-one in Canberra or in Queensland should be thinking of separate Liberal and National campaigns.

"I can say from my perspective as a regional member, if you want to peg me that way, that this was a really great campaign.

"We were a united team."
