Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard has caved in to building pressure and called a leadership ballot.
"I have determined that there will be a ballot for the leadership. In the meantime, take your best shot," she told parliament.
She said the meeting would vote on the positions of prime minister and deputy prime minister.
The ballot is meant to end destabilisation from lawmakers who want former prime minister Kevin Rudd to return as leader to halt a slump in opinion polls.
However Mr Rudd has he will not stand against Ms Gillard.
Simon Crean, another former Labor leader, cranked up the pressure on Gillard earlier in the day, saying the "stalemate has to end" to prevent the party from imploding.
"Something needs to be done to break this deadlock, to resolve the issue once and for all," he said.
"I am asking her to call a spill (vote) of all leadership positions."
