Shadow treasurer Chris Bowen will throw his hat in the ring for Labor leader and will be up against Anthony Albanese.

Bowen, a member of the ALP right faction, will make an announcement on Tuesday in Sydney’s Smithfield where he grew up a day after deputy leader Tanya Plibersek confirmed she would not run for the role, leaving Albanese to contest for the left faction.
