The Cottesloe by-election triggered by the retirement of Western Australia’s former Liberal premier Colin Barnett will be held on March 10.
Mr Barnett, who stayed on in parliament after a landslide election loss last March that ended his eight years in power, announced in December he was quitting politics after 27 years in parliament.
Labor previously announced it would not contest the by-election, conceding they would not win the safe Liberal seat.
