Tim Farron has been elected as the new leader of the Liberal Democrats.
Mr Farron received 56.5% of the votes and in second place Norman Lamb received the backing of 43.5%.
Liberal Democrat Party President Sal Brinton said: “Both Tim and Norman ran distinctively liberal, strong campaigns that spoke to party members across the UK. At numerous hustings and meetings with members, they spoke of their liberal values, the direction they think we should go, and how to best rebuild the party over the coming months and years.
“Tim is a fantastic communicator and his energy, enthusiasm and passion will inspire and drive the Liberal Democrats back to winning ways.”
