Denis Napthine
Liberal/National coalition
The 2014 Victorian state election, held on Saturday, 29 November 2014, was for the 58th Parliament of Victoria. All 88 seats in the Victorian Legislative Assembly and 40 seats in the Victorian Legislative Council were up for election. The incumbent centre-right Coalition minority government, led by Liberal Party leader and Premier Denis Napthine and National Party leader and Deputy Premier Peter Ryan, was defeated by the centre-left Australian Labor Party opposition, led by Daniel Andrews. The Greens won two lower house seats, their first Legislative Assembly seats in a Victorian state election, whilst increasing their share of upper house seats. The new Andrews Ministry was sworn in on 4 December 2014.
Victoria has compulsory voting and uses preferential ballot in single-member electorates for the Legislative Assembly, and single transferable vote in multi-member electorates for the proportionally represented Legislative Council. The election was conducted by the Victorian Electoral Commission (VEC).
