Angus Taylor Elected Leader of Australia's Liberal Party

Résumé

Angus Taylor has been elected as the new leader of Australia's Liberal Party, defeating Sussan Ley in a partyroom ballot.

Angus Taylor has been elected as the new leader of Australia's Liberal Party, defeating Sussan Ley in a partyroom ballot with 34 votes to 17.

Taylor, who previously served as Shadow Minister for Defence, resigned from Ley's frontbench on February 11, citing concerns over the party's direction.

Ley's nine-month tenure as the first female leader of the Liberal Party was marked by internal divisions and declining poll numbers.

Following the leadership change, Victorian Senator Jane Hume was elected as the party's deputy leader, succeeding Ted O'Brien.

Taylor, a member of the National Right faction, has held various ministerial roles, including Minister for Industry, Energy and Emissions Reduction.

The leadership change comes as the Liberal Party seeks to rebuild after a significant defeat in the 2025 federal election.
