Premier Jacinta Allan has vowed to fight any leadership challenge, as her future as party leader hangs in the balance.

A delegation of Labor MPs was meeting Ms Allan this morning to inform her she had lost majority support of caucus.

The ABC understands the group was advising her that her position was untenable, and urging her to step down.

But Ms Allan has written to Labor's state secretary to ask that they are ready for a contested leadership ballot.

Attributed claims Attribution helps readers distinguish a source's claim from the article narrator's own assertion.
Attributed framing cues Attributed or quoted cues remain visible, but their score contribution is reduced to avoid assigning a speaker's wording to the reporter.
