2012 Port Adelaide state by-election

A by-election occurred in the South Australian House of Assembly seat of Port Adelaide on 11 February 2012.

The by-election was triggered by the resignation of former Deputy Premier, Treasurer and state Labor MHA Kevin Foley.

Hart was mostly replaced with a recreated Port Adelaide ahead of the 2002 election, and Foley followed most of his constituents into the new seat.

The by-election was expected to be a close contest on both eliminated candidate preference flows and the final TCP vote.
