The first female leader of Australia's Liberal Party, Sussan Ley, has been ousted after just nine months in the job, losing a leadership ballot to her former shadow defence minister Angus Taylor.

Ley was elevated to the role after the party suffered a resounding defeat in last year's election, but since then has been plagued by poor poll numbers and infighting among the conservative Liberal-National Coalition.

Taylor had announced he would challenge her for leadership of the opposition on Wednesday, ending months of speculation.

In a social media post he said his election on Friday was "an immense honour" and that he looked forward to working with new deputy leader Jane Hume.
