The 1993 Boardmeadows state by-election was held on 18 September 1993 to elect the next member for Boardmeadows in the Victorian Legislative Assembly, following the resignation of incumbent MP and opposition leader Jim Kennan on 29 June 1993.
The seat was retained for the Labor Party by candidate John Brumby, who held the seat until his resignation in 2010. 10 days after the election, he was appointed Leader of the Opposition and subsequently served as Premier of Victoria from 2007 to 2010.
Candidates are listed in ballot paper order.[1] The Liberal Party, which received 26.5% of first preference votes in Broadmeadows at the 1992 state election, did not contest the by-election.[1]
