Six want to stand for LNP in Dowling seat

Six Liberal National Party candidates will seek preselection in the seat of a Queensland MP famous for plonking his penis in a wine glass.

Rank and file members in the seat of Redlands last month voted to dump their local member Peter Dowling.

Mr Dowling had been under a cloud after it was revealed he'd had an affair while an MP and his mistress had photos of him dangling his penis in a wine glass published.

The LNP announced on Friday that six people are seeking preselection in the seat.

They include senior Queensland government adviser Matt McEachan and Fiona Ward, who is executive adviser to Leader of House Ray Stevens.

Teacher Paul O'Keefe, businessman Josh Handbridge, local councillor Lance Heward and aviation adviser Tiffany Klease have also thrown their hats into the ring.

LNP state director Brad Henderson said local members would vote on a candidate on December 6.
