The 1974 ACT Liberal Party leadership election was held on 30 October 1974.
In 1966, Jim Leedman became president of the ACT Liberal Party's Canberra branch, and also served as the party's Electoral Conference president. He became president of the newly-formed Woden Valley branch later that year.
Leedman led the Liberals at the 1967 election for the Australian Capital Territory Advisory Council. He was one of two Liberals elected, and was later re-elected in 1970.
During the 1974 election campaign for the newly-formed Legislative Assembly (later House of Assembly), Leedman remained leader.
After the election, in which the Liberals won seven seats, a leadership election was held. Newly-elected Canberra MLA Peter Hughes was elected as leader, while Leedman became deputy leader.

The 1988 ACT Liberal Party leadership election was held on 10 December 1988.
Ahead of the 1989 ACT election, the first under self-government, the Liberal Party's ten candidates voted to decide the party's leader. Although the party's preselection committee chose branch president Gary Humphries to be first on the ticket, the candidates chose former House of Assembly member Trevor Kaine to lead.
Kaine was asked he believed more Liberals wanted Humphries as leader, and told The Canberra Times that "the candidates themselves — the people who are going to be presenting the policies and presenting the party as a potential creditable government — have decided they can sell themselves better having me as their leader than they could have done by having Gary ."
On 13 December, Kaine announced the portfolios for the Liberal candidates:
- Trevor Kaine – Finance, economic development and ageing
- Gary Humphries – Police and justice, education and youth affairs
- Robyn Nolan – Business affairs
- Bill Stefaniak – Public Service, industrial relations and ethnic affairs
- Greg Cornwell – Health and welfare
- Lyle Dunne – Land planning and development, and environment
- Peter Kobold – Transport and employment
- Judith Dowson – Arts, heritage and women's affairs
- Peter Jansen – Housing and municipal services
- Bob Winnel – Community affairs, sport and recreation

Party leadership spill

The June 1991 ACT Liberal Party leadership spill was held on 12 June 1991.
On 6 June, the Residents Rally – following a breakdown of the Alliance government – supported Labor in a no-confidence motion against chief minister Trevor Kaine, leading to Rosemary Follett returning to the position. Just days earlier, The Canberra Times reported that "senior Liberal sources" believed Kaine was a "poor communicator" and "intransigent", but party president Jim Leedman said Kaine's position as leader was safe.
On 12 June, deputy leader Gary Humphries launched a spill motion against Kaine, which was successful. Humphries was supported by his fellow Liberals – Robyn Nolan, David Prowse and Bill Stefaniak – while Kaine was the only MLA to vote against. Bill Stefaniak was elected as deputy leader.
However, Humphries did not immediately become Leader of the Opposition. Kaine said on 14 June that he did not intend to step down from the position, despite Humphries saying he believed Kaine would resign. One week later at 2:30pm on 21 June, Kaine resigned as opposition leader, the Liberal Party did not have enough votes to elect Humphries to the position. Residents Rally leader Bernard Collaery nominated Independents Group MLA Craig Duby, and after two vote (the first one having being tied at six votes each), Duby became opposition leader after independent MLA Michael Moore abstained from the second ballot. 6-and-a-half hours later, Labor voted with the Liberals (as well as Moore) to elect Humphries to the position.

The July 1991 ACT Liberal Party leadership election was held on 22 July 1991.
During preselection on Saturday, 20 July, the Liberal Party relegated Gary Humphries to the fifth position on the party's ticket at the next ACT election. Humphries announced he would resign as leader on Monday, 22 July, allowing for former leader Trevor Kaine to return to the position after just one month.
Opinion polling from The Canberra Times showed the Liberals were likely to win five seats, meaning Humphries would remain an MLA (which did eventuate at the 1992 election, where the Liberals won six seats and Humphries was re-elected).
Bill Stefaniak, who had been moved to the unwinnable eighth position on the Liberal ticket, resigned as deputy leader because he believed the position should be held by someone "in a winnable position". Humphries was elected to the deputy leadership.
Following his return to the leadership, Kaine signalled to fellow Liberal MLAs Robyn Nolan and David Prowse – who were both not preselected for the next election – that they should resign from the Legislative Assembly in order to make way for the party's preselected candidates. Prowse chose not to leave the party, while Nolan resigned several months later in October to form the New Conservative Group.

leadership spill

The 1993 ACT Liberal Party leadership spill was held on 21 April 1993.
During the evening of Tuesday, 20 April, Liberal MLA Tony De Domenico agreed to support Carnell over incumbent leader Trevor Kaine, ending a 3–3 stalemate that had existed within the Liberal partyroom since the July 1991 spill. At 10:30am the following day, a spill motion was moved. Kaine and Greg Cornwell, a strong Kaine supporter, learned of the spill only moments before it occurred. Kaine did not contest the spill, and Carnell was elected unopposed, becoming the ACT Liberal Party's first female leader.
De Domenico was elected unopposed as deputy leader, replacing Gary Humphries. Humphries, a longtime supporter of Carnell, said he was happy to assist the new leadership team "if that's what's involved".
The spill came just one month after a federal Liberal Party spill, where incumbent John Hewson defeated former leader John Howard. Writing in The Canberra Times, journalist Matthew Abraham wrote that "Kaine and De Domenico are fast becoming the John Howard
and Andrew Peacock of the ACT Liberals", Howard and Peacock having infamously fought for the federal Liberal leadership throughout the 1980s.

The 2000 ACT Liberal Party leadership election was held on 18 October 2000.
On 25 September 2000, an ACT auditor-general's report into the Bruce Stadium redevelopment project was released, which found that the project's $27.3 million cost estimate had not undergone proper assessment, review or analysis. On 11 October, the Labor Party moved a no-confidence motion, which was scheduled to be debated on 18 October.
Although Carnell considered a number of options – including resigning as chief minister but remaining Liberal leader, calling an early election or allowing Labor to govern – it became clear that independent crossbenchers Dave Rugendyke and Paul Osborne would support the motion. She ultimately chose to resign as both chief minister and Liberal leader on 17 October, one day before the motion was scheduled to be debated.
A leadership election took place the following day, which saw deputy chief minister Gary Humphries elected as leader (and by extension, Chief Minister of the ACT) unopposed.

The 2012 Canberra Liberals leadership election was held on 29 October 2012.
Following the 2012 ACT election, neither the Liberals nor the Labor Party had won the sufficient number of seats to form government in their own right, meaning they required the support of Shane Rattenbury, the sole Greens MLA.
While negotiations were taking place, Zed Seselja was re-elected unopposed as Liberal leader and Brendan Smyth was re-elected as deputy leader.
The Liberals would ultimately remain in opposition after Rattenbury chose to support Labor on 2 November.

Notes
- The Canberra Times wrote on 13 June 1991 that "there were no dissenting votes to Mr Humphries being elected leader, although Mr Kaine abstained", however they later reported on 21 July 1991 that "it is understood that Mr Kaine
received only one vote: his own".
- ^ Although Jeremy Hanson is part of the part of the conservative right faction, he has also previously been considered unaligned or part of the moderate faction.
