Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard and the man she ousted, Kevin Rudd, are to contest a party leadership vote.

Ms Gillard called the vote after Mr Rudd's supporters sought to force a party meeting to hold a ballot.

The vote will take place at 19:00 local time (09:00 GMT) on Wednesday. Both contenders have committed to stepping down from politics if they lose.

The move comes ahead of a 14 September election, which polls suggest Labor is set to lose.

Ms Gillard toppled Mr Rudd in a leadership challenge in 2010, but he remains more popular with voters, and there has been sustained discussion about the Labor party leadership in recent weeks.
