The Scoitan Conservative leadership election of 2007 will choose the replacement for Mick Pearson as Chief Minister of Scoita; as Pearson is seeking to become the next Governor of Scoita, he will leave office as Chief Minister on March 8. The ballot will be held that morning and the winner sworn in as Chief Minister by Governor Patrick Gunning shortly afterwards.

Declared Candidates
The incumbent Deputy Chief Minister and Housing, Works & Transport Minister is seen as the front-runner. A Conservative mover-and-shaker, Zimmerman has been influential in Tory politics for more than a decade, and has a strong grasp of public policy. If elected, Zimmerman would become the country's first Jewish Chief Minister. The Attorney General, Police Minister and Minister for Industrial Relations has strong law-and-order credentials and is a popular hard-liner in the Conservative Party. Cappucio would become the country's first Chief Minister of Italian descent were he to be elected. The Local Government minister is a moderate Conservative who may attract some votes because of his 'outsider' status and his less hard-line stance on some social issues.
