UPDATE: Vice-president Cynthia Hardy has been elected Acting State President.<\/b><\/p>\n

Earlier:<\/b><\/p>\n

LNP State President David Hutchinson is expected to resign on Monday afternoon at a virtual meeting of the party’s State Executive.<\/p>\n

Mr Hutchinson signalled his intention to quit late last week in an email to party members.<\/p>\n

“While I feel I have a lot more to give to the LNP, now is the right time for me to step aside and support my successor as they lead the party organisation to a State election victory and beyond,” Mr Hutchinson wrote.<\/p>\n

Mr Hutchinson’s resignation follows the leak of internal polling information from within the LNP.<\/p>\n

There have also been allegations from the parliamentary wing of “backroom bullying” from within the organisational wing.<\/p>\n

Among those calling for Mr Hutchinson’s resignation has been Federal MP Peter Dutton who criticised him in mid-June for maintaining a commercial relationship with Clive Palmer, founder of the rival United Australia Party.<\/p>\n

“I think (David Hutchinson) will reflect on his position and do the right thing. His position is untenable,” Mr Dutton told a Brisbane radio station.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
