Former South Australian Premier Steven Marshall has announced he will step down from state politics, bringing on a by-election.

The state MP representing Dunstan in Adelaide’s eastern suburbs entered Parliament in 2010, and became South Australia’s 46th premier at the 2018 state election. He served as state leader until the 2022 election, when Labor swept to power under the leadership of Peter Malinauskas.
