The 2021 Democratic Republican Leadership election is an election to be held in December, 2021.

On November 28, she expressed her desire to place a motion of no confidence into the party room meeting scheduled for forty-eight hours after.

In accordance with party rules, first there must be a vote of no confidence. If that is agreed to, a second set of votes is required to select the eventual leader. To nominate, candidates must forward nomination to the Party Whip, or if the Whip is a nominee, then the Deputy Party Whip, by the vote of no confidence occurring.
