Moira Deeming Disendorsed as Victorian Liberal Candidate

Victorian Liberal MP Moira Deeming was disendorsed as a candidate for the upcoming state election on July 17, 2026. The decision was made by the party's state executive during a meeting held on Friday afternoon. This action follows Deeming's withdrawal of an eleventh-hour legal challenge against the Liberal Party earlier in the week. The disendorsement means Deeming will not be able to run as the Liberal candidate in the November election. The state party's executive committee convened to vote on her candidacy status. The specific reasons for the disendorsement beyond the withdrawn legal action were not detailed in the initial report, but the timing indicates a resolution of internal party disputes was a prerequisite for the decision. Deeming's status as a Member of Parliament for the Liberal Party in Victoria remains unaffected by this candidate disendorsement for the upcoming election.
