Prentice resigned from council on 24 August 2010 after winning the division of Ryan at the federal election. She had been re-elected for the Liberal Party at the 2008 Brisbane City Council election, and subsequently joined the Liberal National Party (LNP) when it was formed months later in July 2008.[2][3]
The by-election was easily won by LNP candidate Julian Simmonds, although there was a swing against of more than 6% after preferences.[4]
