Liberal Chisholm candidate Theo Zographos dumped for former MP Katie Allen

·

The Victorian Liberal Party replaced its Chisholm candidate Theo Zographos with former MP Katie Allen following the abolition of the historic Higgins seat in a recent electoral boundary redistribution.

The party’s administrative committee re-endorsed 21 candidates after finalising the Victorian federal redistribution recently.

The decision to oust Zographos followed a boundary redraw that moved over 30% of Higgins, where Allen had been seeking a return after her 2022 defeat, into the neighbouring Chisholm electorate.

A Victorian Liberal Party spokesman said Dr Allen was a “tireless worker and advocate for families”.

“As a pediatrician she understands the importance (of) the integration of health, education and financial security for the welfare of families,” he said.

“Theo Zographos has made a substantial contribution to promoting the Party’s cause, and we are very grateful to him for his hard work.”

Dr Allen said she was “deeply honoured” for the opportunity, acknowledging that “Theo is an incredible candidate and has a bright future.”
