Melbourne's deputy lord mayor poised to become Liberal Party candidate
Roshena Campbell has been chosen to replace Moira Deeming on the Liberal ticket at the upcoming state election.
The Victorian Liberal Party has chosen Roshena Campbell, Melbourne's deputy lord mayor, to replace Moira Deeming as the party's candidate for the Western Metropolitan Region. Campbell, a barrister, bested current MP Trung Luu in the selection process. Deeming's candidacy was revoked after an assault allegation, which she refused to apologize for, leading to her disendorsement.
Campbell, who does not reside in the electorate she aims to represent, is expected to take her seat in the Victorian Parliament in November, relinquishing her local government role.
