Boris Johnson has won the Conservative party leadership race - and is about to be named as the UK's new Prime Minister.
The controversial Member of Parliament for Uxbridge and South Ruislip has defeated rival candidate Jeremy Hunt after a vote by Tory members for the leadership of the party.
He easily won the contest by 92,153 votes to Mr Hunt's 46, 656.
Mr Johnson will officially become the country's next Prime Minister tomorrow - after Theresa May tenders her resignation to the Queen following her final Prime Minister's Questions.
Mr Johnson will take office shortly afterwards, following an audience with the Queen at Buckingham Palace.
Speaking after his victory today, he said: "The mantra is deliver Brexit, unite the country and defeat Jeremy Corbyn - and that is what we are going to do."
Conservative members have been voting by post for the past two and a half weeks after Mrs May announced she would be stepping down last month.
The former Home Secretary's three-year reign as Prime Minister can only be regarded as a failure - dominated by an inability to get a Brexit deal through Parliament, despite numerous attempts.
The month-long Tory leadership contest saw a huge list of candidates whittled down to just two - Mr Johnson and Foreign Secretary Mr Hunt.
While Mr Johnson was always seen as the front runner, some had felt his rival may have closed the gap in recent weeks.
But as expected, his predecessor as Foreign Secretary won comfortably in the end.
All attention will now turn to Mr Johnson's Brexit plan - with his pledge to leave the European Union with or without a deal in place by October 31 causing major concerns for many.
But he has been warned by some of his fellow Tory MPs that if he doesn't ditch the prospect of a disastrous no deal, they may work with others to bring down his premiership and spark a General Election.
A number of cabinet ministers including Rory Stewart, David Gauke and Chancellor Philip Hammond have already said they would quit their posts rather than serve in a Johnson administration.
