9News understands momentum is growing among party members for a challenge to Ms Harvey's leadership ahead of the planned caucus meeting tomorrow.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
9News was told by Ms Harvey's office today that there is no truth in any talk of a spill motion.<\/p>\n
