The main candidates touted ahead of the election were Dean Nalder, a member of parliament since 2013 and a minister in the Barnett Ministry, and Zak Kirkup, a member of parliament since 2017. Nalder declined to nominate for the election after it became clear he did not have the full support of the Liberal Party caucus. As a result, Kirkup won the election unopposed, becoming the state's leader of the opposition. Libby Mettam was elected unopposed as the deputy leader.
