NSW Nationals MP Dugald Saunders has resigned as the leader of the party.
In a statement on Monday, Mr Saunders said he was stepping down from the role to “take a step back” and focus on his family.
“For the past two and a half years I have had the privilege of leading the NSW Nationals,” the Dubbo MP said.
“It’s been an honour to lead the Parliamentary team during a challenging time in Opposition and I’ve always done my best to represent regional NSW.
“It’s also the right time to allow a new leader to take up the fight ahead of the next election.”
NSW will return to the polls in March 2027.
More to come.
