A Victorian by-election in Nepean, triggered by MP Sam Groth's January resignation, will cost millions and may shift the state's political balance.
Victorian taxpayers will face millions in costs for a by-election after Liberal MP Sam Groth resigned from state parliament in early January, stepping down from his Mornington Peninsula seat of Nepean ahead of the November state election.
Groth, a former professional tennis player and former deputy leader, cited personal reasons for leaving politics, triggering a formal by-election to fill the vacancy.
The timing has raised concerns over the financial and logistical burden of holding a special election so close to the state poll, with expenses expected to include campaign management, voter outreach, and administrative work.
The outcome could influence the balance of power in the Legislative Assembly.
