Date set for two Victoria by-elections

The date for two Victorian by-elections has been confirmed to take place on February 8. There will be two by-elections in the state, one in Werribee in Melbourne’s west and the other in the inner city seat of Prahran. The election will be the first key test for the new Liberal Opposition Leader Brad Battin, who ousted John Pesutto in a leadership spill in late 2024.
