Zed (Zdenko) Seselja (born 27 March 1977) is a Liberal Party Australian politician. He has been a member of the Australian Capital Territory Legislative Assembly since 2004. He has been the territory's 12th Opposition Leader since December 2007, when he was appointed to the position following the resignation of Bill Stefaniak.[1] Seselja is of Croatian descent.
At the 2008 election, Seselja received a quota of 1.49 and was elected first in the seven member Molonglo electorate.
Both major parties saw a decrease in their vote, with a surge to the Greens. Labor won 7 seats, the Liberals won 6 seats, while the Greens won 4 seats, giving them the balance of power, and negotiated with both major parties for the formation of a minority government.[2][3] After almost two weeks of deliberations, the Greens chose to support a minority Labor government.[4]
