WA Liberal Party’s Liza Harvey could face leadership spill from MPs fearful of losing seats at election – 9News

9News understands momentum is growing among party members for a challenge to Ms Harvey's leadership ahead of the planned caucus meeting tomorrow.

Nine's Political Editor Gary Adshead was told by a Liberal Party insider that at least 13 of 22 party MPs would support a change to the leadership, with some refusing to rule out that the spill could happen tomorrow.

Others, however, have suggested that if any challenge was to happen, it would be later in the year with November 10 tipped as another possible spill date.

The talk of a possible change has come amid MPs fearing the loss of their seats at the upcoming state election in March, and a significant shift in voter support away from the WA Liberal Party.

A spill motion would still need to be raised and supported by a challenger to Ms Harvey's leadership, with insiders suggesting that Shadow Treasurer and Bateman MP Dean Nalder could be that person.

9News was told by Ms Harvey's office today that there is no truth in any talk of a spill motion.
