In the aftermath of Saturday's loss, Mr Guy issued a statement confirming he would not continue as party leader.
"As soon as it is clearer which Liberal Party candidates will form the next parliamentary party room, I will call them together to elect their new leadership team," he said on Sunday morning.
"I will not be a candidate for the position of leader."
Mr Guy resigned as opposition leader after the coalition suffered an election thumping in 2018 before returning to the post in September 2021.
