According to the tallies Carol Nolan looks set to be returned to the Dail.
Fine Gael say they are "quietly confident" John Clendennen will take a seat in Offaly.
It's after tallies show he's on 18% behind Independent Carol Nolan, who's 22%.
Sinn Fein's Aoife Masterson and Tony McCormack from Fianna Fail are on 17%.
Independent Eddie Fitzpatrick has 8% while Green Party's Pippa Hackett has just 3%.
Molly Buckley Chair of the Fine Gael Executive in Offaly says while she doesn't know where the transfer for Cllr Clendennen will come from she expects him to be returned:
