REBEL Victorian MP Geoff Shaw has resigned from the Liberal Party ahead of a meeting where he was expected to be kicked out.
The independent Frankston MP resigned from the parliamentary Liberal Party last March, but he was still a card-carrying member of the party's Victorian branch.
The balance of power MP confirmed his resignation on his website on Monday but said he looks forward to contending the November election as an independent.
His spokesman said he would not make any further comment on Monday.
Mr Shaw's resignation comes ahead of a meeting on Friday where Liberal Party members were expected to ask him to leave the party.
The party's state director Damien Mantach has confirmed Mr Shaw's resignation and said Friday's scheduled meeting was now not necessary.
It is understood the Victorian branch administration had become unhappy with Mr Shaw repeatedly voting with Labor in parliament last month.
Mr Shaw quit the parliamentary party last year after allegations he misused his parliamentary car and fuel card.
In December last year, dishonesty charges relating to these allegations were dropped.
Comment was being sought by Victorian Premier Denis Napthine.
