Moira Deeming disendorsed as Victorian Liberal party candidate for upcoming state election

Victorian Liberal MP Moira Deeming has been disendorsed as a candidate for the upcoming state election, a decision finalized by the party's state executive. This move comes despite Deeming withdrawing her legal challenge against the Liberal Party earlier in the week. The party convened a meeting on Friday afternoon where the vote to remove her as a candidate for the November election took place.

The disendorsement signifies a significant political blow for Deeming, who has been a controversial figure. The internal party conflict appears to have reached a decisive point, with the executive opting to remove her from the ballot. Her legal action against the party, which was dropped just before this decision, had added another layer of drama to the ongoing internal disputes.

This development sets the stage for further political maneuvering within the Liberal Party as it prepares for the state election. The party's decision to disendorse Deeming will likely be a talking point in the lead-up to the vote, impacting local campaigning and broader party strategy.
