An election for the leadership of the Gibraltar Social Democrats was held after the previous leader, Daniel Feetham, resigned.

The candidates who decided to contest were the party’s interim leader, Roy Clinton and Keith Azopardi, former minister and Deputy Chief Minister of Gibraltar, who had rejoined the party in 2017 after leaving them in 2003 and politics completely since 2012

Two former ministers, Keith Azopardi and Damon Bossino, are said to be considering applying for the post. A third, Peter Montegriffo, has declined to stand. Damon Bossino also announced to decline to take stand later on. Keith Azzopardi announced to stand for leadership and is now challenging Interim leader, MP and candidate, Roy Clinton.
