Liza Harvey Zak Kirkup Bill Marmion Libby Mettam The Western Australian Division of the Liberal Party of Australia held a leadership vote on 24 November 2020 to determine its leader.

Nalder declined to nominate for the leadership after it became clear he did not have the full support of the Liberal Party caucus.

The Liberal Party, led by Colin Barnett, lost the 2017 Western Australian state election in a landslide victory by Labor.

[1][2][3] In May 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Harvey called for Premier Mark McGowan to relax Western Australia's border restrictions with the rest of the country.

At that point, Western Australia was almost virus free with only a few restrictions in place, one of which was the strict border controls.

[8] Utting Research released an opinion poll on 1 October which gave Harvey's previously safe seat of Scarborough a two-party-preferred vote of 66–34 in favour of the Labor Party.

[17] The West Australian newspaper reported on 24 November that Kirkup had the support of Harvey, Marmion, Collier, Steve Thomas, Libby Mettam, Goiran, Peter Katsambanis, Jim Chown, Tony Krsticevic, Tjorn Sibma and Michael Mischin; Nalder had the support of Kyran O'Donnell, John McGrath, Sean L'Estrange, Simon O'Brien, Nahan, Honey and Ken Baston; and Alyssa Hayden and Donna Faragher were undecided.

[26] A leadership vote occurred after that election to determine who should succeed Kirkup as leader, which Honey won.
