Elected Leader

Kellie Sloane

The 2025 New South Wales Liberal Party leadership election was held on 21 November 2025 to elect the leader of the New South Wales Liberal Party and, ex officio, Leader of the Opposition. Kellie Sloane was elected unopposed.

It is the second leadership election within the NSW Liberal–National Coalition in the span of one week. It is also the third leadership election taking place within state and territory Liberal Party branches in November 2025 (following the 2025 Canberra Liberals leadership election and 2025 Victorian Liberal Party leadership spill).

This election did not result in any changes to the party's deputy or upper house (Legislative Council) leadership. This means that the Liberal leader and deputy leader will both be female. The deputy remains as Natalie Ward and the upper house leader will continue to be Damien Tudehope.
