The 2022 Liberal Party of Australia (South Australian Division) leadership election or 2022 South Australian Liberal Party leadership election, was the leadership contest for the vacancy of leader of the Liberal Party of South Australia and the Leader of the Opposition, following the previous months' state election loss, and resignation of then-leader Steven Marshall.[6][7][8] The leadership contest was between three candidates: David Speirs, Josh Teague and Nick McBride. Speirs won the ballot contest by an overwhelming majority, succeeding Steven Marshall as leader and becoming the Leader of the Opposition.
Quitting Leader and Premier, Steven Marshall, had held the position of leader from 2013 (9 years, 74 days), coming to the position following competitive, indecisive leadership contests.[9][10] He was subsequently one of the longest-serving leaders of the party. Upon his party's loss, he stated: “I thank all my past and current colleagues for their support over the past nine years and will do all that I can to assist the new Liberal leader to succeed.” Adding: “I also look forward to continuing to serve the people of Dunstan.”[11]
Deputy Leader Dan van Holst Pellekaan also stood down,[11] being succeeded by John Gardner who beat Tim Whetstone and Vincent Tarzia in another three-way contest.[1]
