The Northern Territory Labor Party has voted to remove Dheran Young as deputy leader during a caucus meeting on June 19, 2026. The decision marks a significant shake-up within the party's leadership structure.
Young, who had served as deputy leader since 2023, was replaced by a yet-to-be-announced successor. The caucus vote was conducted behind closed doors, and no official reason for the change has been provided by party leadership.
This development comes amid ongoing political challenges for the NT Labor government, including debates over budget allocations and indigenous affairs. The party has not commented on whether the change reflects broader strategic shifts.
