Statement on the Lib Dem Leadership Election

by Steve Beasant on 20 July, 2017

A statement from Sal Brinton at the Conclusion of the Leadership Election

With the resignation of Tim Farron on 14th June a leadership election was called to find our next leader to take our party forward.

Vince Cable has been the leading candidate throughout and has been unanimously supported by our MPs and has had a strong backing from the wider party membership.

As no other candidate has been nominated at the close of nominations then I am delighted to announce that Vince Cable is the new leader of the Liberal Democrats.

Our new leader inherits a party that is in excellent health.

Under the fantastic stewardship of Tim Farron our membership is at an all-time high and not only do we have our most diverse group of MPs but we have grown by 50% in the last election.

With the significant challenges that our country faces the need for the Liberal Democrats is bigger than ever and the election of Vince marks a new point.
