The electorate of Ramsay has existed since the 1985 election. The seat was successively held by two Labor premiers, prior to the 2012 by-election.
Lynn Arnold won Ramsay in 1985, having held the previous seat of Salisbury from 1978 to 1985. Arnold served as a minister from 1982, and 1992 became the Premier of South Australia at the tail-end of the Labor government in 1992.
Arnold shifted to the new seat of Taylor at the 1993 election, when he also lost government. Arnold resigned from Parliament in 1994.
Mike Rann won Ramsay at the 1993 election. Rann had previously held the seat of Briggs from 1985 until its abolition in 1993. Rann was elected leader of the South Australian Labor Party in 1994.
Rann led the ALP into government at the 2002 election, and served as Premier for eleven years, until October 2011. Rann resigned from Parliament in early 2012.
