Jo Swinson has been elected new leader of the Liberal Democrats, beating former Energy Secretary Ed Davey to become the party’s first female leader.
The party’s deputy leader won almost two-thirds of the 76,000-plus votes cast by members to replace Vince Cable, using her first speech in the role to appeal to disaffected Conservative and Labour MPs to join a party that she said was rising in the polls and ready again to compete for government.
She told fellow members as leader of the Liberal Democrats that her party believes that ‘the UK’s best future is as members of the European Union’, and that’s why, as leader, she would do ‘whatever it takes to Stop Brexit’.
As well as being the first woman to hold the role, Swinson also becomes the youngest current leader of a major UK party, aged 39, despite having first been elected to Westminster in 2005.
Swinson won 47,997 votes against 28,021 for Ed Davey, on a turnout of 72 per cent.
