The 2022 Socialist Labour Party leadership election will be held from 28 October to 20 November 2022. The election was triggered by the resignation of incumbent leader Rupert van Bleiswijk after he failed to secure the SAE nomination for President of the Euclean Community.
Following van Bleiswijk's formal resignation on 26 September, the SAP's federal executive met to formalise the rules and procedures of the election. Nominations opened on 5 October, and closed seven days later on 12 October. The first round of voting will take place on 28 October, with an electoral college of party leadership, representatives and elected office holders using the single transferable vote. The top two candidates will progress to the second round, which will consist of a ballot of party members. The winner will be declared at an extraordinary party conference on 18 November.
Background
Rupert van Bleiswijk was elected as leader of the SAP in 2015. He led them to a first place finish at the 2017 federal election, and again in 2021. In the months leading up to the 2021 election, it was widely speculated that van Bleiswijk was considering a run for the presidency of the Euclean Community (EC), which raised questions about his long-term ambitions as party leader and as premier.
On 24 June 2022, van Bleiswijk formally declared his intention to seek the Socialist Alternative for Euclea (SAE) nomination for EC President, launching his primary campaign on the same day. In the first and only round of the primary, van Bleiswijk finished in third place out of the three candidates, garnering just 18 votes in the electoral college system. Van Bleiswijk was criticised domestically by a number of political figures, including some in his own party, for prioritising his own Euclean election campaign over his role as premier, which resulted in mounted pressure on him to consider his position following his primary defeat.
On 25 September, van Bleiswijk told a private gathering of SAP members of the Senate of his intention to resign as leader of the party and as premier, which he announced publicly the following day. He will remain in place in both positions until the new party leader is elected.
