An extraordinary meeting of Victorian Labor Party factional conveners has resolved to challenge Jacinta Allan's leadership, marking a critical moment in her three-year tenure as premier.

The meeting, attended by representatives from both Left and Right factions, concluded that Allan no longer has the necessary caucus support to lead the government into the November 28 state election.

While no formal challenger has been declared, Deputy Premier Ben Carroll has indicated he would consider a leadership bid if the position became vacant.However, a contested leadership ballot four months before an election could paralyse the government.Under party rules, a new leader would be chosen by a caucus vote and member ballot, with the deputy leader temporarily assuming responsibility.Internal tensions persist, with some MPs arguing the meeting did not adequately consult parliamentarians.Polls suggest Allan would likely lose a leadership vote, but her supporters claim she has the caucus backing to resist a no-confidence motion.

Attorney-General Sonya Kilkenny dismissed the speculation as 'idle gossip,' while leaked policies hint at efforts to address internal dissent and improve public perception ahead of the election.
