维多利亚州工党通过一场历时近两小时的党团会议，选举本·卡罗尔为新总理，接替宣布辞职的杰辛塔·艾伦1。约70名工党议员参加了此次会议1。选举过程进行了三次投票——包括一次"口头表决"和两次举手表决，其中因计票错误需要进行重新计票1。
艾伦在当日上午宣布辞职后，提名检察总长索尼娅·基尔肯尼作为卡罗尔的竞争对手1。基尔肯尼于上午11:55撤回候选资格，距议会召开仅五分钟1。卡罗尔随后当选，并宣布启动建筑业腐败皇家调查作为其改革举措之一1。工党工会代表Michael Donovan表示，对零售和款待业员工保护命令立法的优先化"非常高兴"1。多名议员将整个过程形容为"一场混乱的过程"1。
Victoria's Labor Party selected Ben Carroll as the state's new premier during a turbulent party room meeting, replacing Jacinta Allen who announced her resignation earlier in the day 1. The caucus session lasted nearly two hours with approximately 70 Labor MPs in attendance 1.
The election process proved contentious, with three separate votes required to determine the outcome 1. Allen initially backed Carroll for the position, but unexpectedly nominated Attorney-General Sonya Kilkenny as a rival candidate, triggering what threatened to become a prolonged internal party struggle 1. However, Kilkenny withdrew her candidacy at 11:55 a.m., just five minutes before parliament convened, allowing Carroll to secure the role 1. The voting procedure itself encountered difficulties, as counting errors necessitated a recount during the hand-voting rounds 1.
Following his election, Carroll immediately announced plans to establish a royal commission into corruption in the construction industry 1. Michael Donovan, representing the Labor Party's union faction, expressed satisfaction with the party's commitment to prioritizing protective order legislation for retail and hospitality workers 1. Multiple MPs characterized the meeting as "a chaotic process" 1.
