Zak Kirkup the frontrunner as WA Liberal Party heads to a leadership ballot
First-term Member of Parliament Zak Kirkup is the favourite to claim the West Australian Liberal leadership this morning, with a promise to bring generational change to the party ahead of the March state election.
Key points:
- 33-year-old Zak Kirkup is being touted as the likely candidate to replace Liza Harvey
- The former Barnett government adviser is in his first parliamentary term
- Supporters of rival Dean Nalder hope to sway undecided MPs ahead of the vote
The 33-year-old Shadow Health Minister is vying for the leadership following the resignation of Liza Harvey last weekend, less than four months out from the 2021 state poll.
“I think it is a prospect for a new generation of leadership for the party,” Mr Kirkup told reporters yesterday.
