A Northern Territory politician who lost her seat in the election says voters in her electorate were told their children would be put in electric chairs and their men would be taken away if the Country Liberals government was returned to power.

Bess Price, who suffered a 30.9 per cent swing against her in the bush seat of Stuart, blamed a whispering campaign following a Four Corners program that highlighted the abuse of children in Northern Territory youth detention centres as an influence in her loss.

"All throughout the Northern Territory in the bush communities they were told that this government will take your children and put them in an electric chair," Ms Price told 783 ABC Alice Springs.

"Aboriginal people, yes they are gullible, it frightens them to think that their child will be put in that situation."

The Four Corners episode aired on July 25, about one month prior to the NT election, and sparked a royal commission into the treatment of youth detainees in NT detention centres.

The episode highlighted the tear-gassing of detainees and the use of restraint chairs and spit hoods but did not mention electric chairs being used on children.

Former chief minister Adam Giles suggested the episode was politically motivated and timed to influence the outcome of the NT election.

Ms Price - an Aboriginal woman and former minister in the Giles government - also alleged that Labor had used former MLA Alison Anderson to scare Indigenous people not to vote for her.

She alleged that because she had been critical of domestic violence that there were rumours spread that she would take the men away and close bottle shops.

"I was aware of all the men avoiding me when I was out in communities," she said.

The ABC has tried to reach Ms Anderson for a response, but in the past she denied spreading rumours that the CLP would close bottle shops if elected.

Labor's Scott McConnell won the seat of Stuart with 75.4 per cent of the two-party preferred vote, and received more than three times as many votes as Ms Price.

The ALP won the NT election in a landslide, leaving the opposition CLP with only two seats in the 25-seat Parliament.

The Labor Party has also been contacted and are preparing a response to Ms Price's claims.
