Rudd told a hastily convened, late-night press conference that the vote would be held early on Thursday, following marathon talks with Gillard and other senior ministers. "I was elected by the people of Australia as prime minister of Australia," he said. "I was elected to do a job, I intend to continue doing that job. I intend to continue doing it to the best of my ability." Deputy Prime Minister Gillard confirmed she would be a candidate in the vote, which follows a dizzying turn of events for Rudd's government ahead of elections expected this year. "I confirm I will be a candidate in tomorrow's ballot," Gillard told reporters in a brief statement. Rudd was in pugnacious mood as he faced journalists in Canberra and detailed his achievements in office since the landslide defeat of conservative prime minister John Howard in 2007. The centre-left leader is facing down Labor Party factions who have become convinced he is a liability for the upcoming elections following a steep drop in personal support. "I was elected by the people of Australia to do a job. I was not elected by the factional leaders of the Australian Labor Party to do a job -- but they may be seeking to do a job on me," he said.
