• Deputy Premier Jacinta Allan, from the Socialist Left faction, was widely tipped to become the next premier, especially as she had Andrews’ endorsement.
• But who is Jacinta Allan and what challenges await her as premier?

From Bendigo East to premier

• She became the youngest female elected to the Victorian parliament when she first won the seat of Bendigo East at age 25 in 1999.

• This was interpreted as a clear indication that Premier Daniel Andrews had anointed her to take over if he was to retire before the next election.

• Allan has arguably developed a stronger public profile than other potential challengers.
• As the minister responsible for the games, Allan was the target of the opposition’s attacks on the government.

Victoria’s second female premier

• The late Joan Kirner made history in 1990 when she became the first woman to be premier of Victoria.
• Kirner was also left with a divided Labor Party that had been in power since Cain first led the party to victory in 1982.
• The new premier must now work through the fallout from the pandemic.
