Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell expects Victorian Deputy Premier Jacinta Allan to become the state’s new leader after Daniel Andrews announced his resignation. Ms Allan is the longest-serving female minister in Victorian history and took up the deputy role last year. Mr Clennell said the Deputy Premier is in the “box seat” for the top job. “She definitely is the favourite - the most interesting thing in these situations is, do they go in to vote?” he said. The outgoing Victorian Premier led the Labor Party to three state election victories. Mr Andrews’ resignation will take effect from 5pm on Wednesday.
