Liz Truss will become the next prime minister after defeating Rishi Sunak in the Conservative Party leadership contest.
Ms Truss, who was the favourite to win the contest, will succeed Boris Johnson on Tuesday and become the nation's third female leader.
She secured 81,326 votes (57%) to Mr Sunak's 60,399 (43%).
It means she won by a comfortable majority, though it was tighter than some had expected.
Ms Truss said it is an "honour to be elected" as she thanked her party for organising "one of the longest job interviews in history".
