Victoria’s Deputy Premier Jacinta Allan is widely tipped to succeed Daniel Andrews as the state’s 49th premier. The transport and infrastructure minister is a member of Victorian Labor’s Socialist Left faction, as is Andrews. However, some Labor insiders have flagged the potential for factional unrest if rival contenders for the party’s leadership emerge. Labor’s caucus will meet on Wednesday to determine a successor to Andrews, but the party’s rules require nominations for leader to remain open for three days; the vote must go to a ballot of Labor members and state caucus if there is more than one nomination. This means that the new premier may not be decided until at least early next week.
