Jacinta Allan's main internal rival as Victorian premier has ruled out a leadership challenge as fresh polling reinforces Labor's electoral slide.
Deputy Premier Ben Carroll poured cold water on speculation of launching a leadership tilt on Tuesday when state Labor MPs meet.
It will be the final time the Labor caucus comes together before state parliament reconvenes in late July, unless a special meeting is called.
Standing alongside Ms Allan on Monday, Mr Carroll denied he was coming for the premier's job or that he would ask her to stand aside.
"I can look you in the eye and I can say that, premier," he told reporters at Kalkallo, north of Melbourne.
Victorian Labor leadership ructions have been bubbling away for months in the lead up to the November 28 state election.
