Following the sacking of the previously pre-selected and endorsed Liberal candidate, Meralyn Klein, by the state Liberal Party just a week before the 2018 election for allegedly racist or bigoted remarks about people from one of the world's largest religions, it seems highly likely that the Liberal party may have no candidate in the electorate in the 2018 State Election. It remains unclear whether she still intends to stand as a candidate without major party endorsement. |

The electoral district of Yan Yean is an electoral district of the Victorian Legislative Assembly.[1] It is located on the fringes of Melbourne's northern suburbs and contains the towns of Hurstbridge, Plenty, Whittlesea and Yan Yean.
Yan Yean was created for the 1992 election and has always been held by Labor, although usually marginally. The seat became notionally Liberal after the Craigieburn end of the electorate was removed due to population growth in a redistribution prior to the 2002 election, leading to Andre Haermeyer's decision to contest Kororoit instead. Nevertheless, Labor's Danielle Green easily won the seat, winning with a margin of 9.5%.
Following the sacking of the previously pre-selected and endorsed Liberal candidate, Meralyn Klein, by the state Liberal Party just a week before the 2018 election for allegedly racist or bigoted remarks about people from one of the world's largest religions, it seems highly likely that the Liberal party may have no candidate in the electorate in the 2018 State Election. It remains unclear whether she still intends to stand as a candidate without major party endorsement.
