Aussie deputy PM to face leadership challenge

Canberra, Feb 22 (UNI) Australian Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce will face a challenge to his leadership when Parliament resumes on Monday, Xinhua news agency has reported.
Andrew Broad, member of parliament (MP) for Mallee in Victoria, on Thursday became the first MP from Joyce's National Party of Australia, which is part of the governing Liberal National Party (LNP) coalition, to call for the deputy prime minister's resignation.
Joyce has come under intense pressure since it was revealed earlier in February that he had engaged in an extramarital affair with former media advisor Vikki Campion who is expecting their child in April.
