Ann-Marie Hermans

Ann-Marie Hermans is a current Member of Parliament in the Victorian Legislative Council, representing the Liberal Party. She is one of several Liberal MPs facing a preselection challenge ahead of the upcoming November state election. This means she will have to compete against another candidate, Dinesh Gourisetty, to secure her position as the Liberal candidate for her seat. The preselection challenges are occurring amidst internal tensions within the Victorian Liberal party, particularly between moderate and conservative factions. The challenges are newsworthy as they reflect ongoing power struggles and attempts to reshape the party's representation in the lead-up to a crucial election. Her political future hinges on the outcome of the preselection process.
