Gladys Berejiklian will run uncontested to be the next NSW premier after Minister Andrew Constance ruled out running for the position.
The Minister for Transport and Infrastructure pledged his full support to Ms Berejiklan, and said she will make an “excellent leader”.
Mr Constance’s announcement comes after the NSW Liberal Party treasurer confirmed she’ll run for the position of party leader following Mike Baird’s shock resignation.
“Gladys will make an excellent Premier and she has my full support,” Mr Constance said in a statement.
“NSW should be glad to have her at the helm.”
