Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell reveals Labor is unlikely to run a candidate in the upcoming Cook by-election.
“I have been told by Labor sources that Labor are unlikely to run a candidate,” Mr Clennell said.
“It’s a seat with a 12 per cent margin and sources are telling me that unlike the contest in Dunkley – we’re expecting this heated close contest this weekend – there will be no Labor candidate in the seat of Cook is what I am being told by sources.
“The only issue in terms of the seat being lost by the Liberal Party would be an independent, that seems very unlikely.”
The Cook by-election is scheduled for April or May.
