Tech executive and former Liberal staffer Gisele Kapterian has secured preselection for the Sydney seat of Bradfield – a target of the teal movement at this year’s federal election – defeating conservative Indigenous figure Nyunggai Warren Mundine in a keenly awaited ballot.
The teals are confident of winning Bradfield, a seat held by retiring Liberal MP Paul Fletcher, making it crucial to Peter Dutton’s chances of winning the election due by May. Bradfield covers a wealthy area of Sydney’s north shore, including St Ives and Chatswood. Kapterian has long been touted as a parliamentary candidate. She attracted most of her backers from the moderate wing of the party, though her commanding win indicates she also won a substantial number of right-wing votes.
