During the caucus meeting which conducted the leadership ballot McLeod, having realised he had no realistic chance of winning, withdrew as a candidate.
[5] In a reshuffle in 1926 Coates additionally appointed McLeod as Minister of Industries and Commerce.
[2] McLeod was the New Zealand government representative to Australia in May 1927 at the inauguration of the new Parliament House when the federal capital moved to Canberra.
He made a speech in parliament about it and, under parliamentary privilege, named wealthy businessman William Goodfellow as being the funder of the party.
[23] He was survived by his wife and children,[1] his son Norman Murdoch McLeod having drowned while duck-shooting at Kahutara in 1936.
