Having been turfed from Canberra in a teal wave, former federal MP Jason Falinski's latest election will see him lead the renewal of the NSW Liberal Party.

The former member for Mackellar on Sydney's northern beaches is the clear favourite in the race for the state party's presidency.

The election for president is due to be held during the party's state council on Saturday.

The state council comes as the party considers how to win back voters who abandoned it for climate-minded centrist candidates at both the 2022 federal and 2023 state elections.

NSW Liberal Leader Mark Speakman and the federal deputy Liberal leader Sussan Ley are both due to address the event.

The election of a state president will allow the party to also take steps to fill the vacant state director role.

Chris Stone left that position after the coalition was booted from office in the March state election.

Mr Falinski declined to comment on his candidacy for the presidency, which is not permitted under party rules.
