Paul Nuttall elected leader of UKIP

Paul Nuttall MEP has been elected leader of UKIP by a huge majority.

Paul Nuttall62.4%
Suzanne Evans19.3%
John Rees-Evans18.1%

The new leader's first appointments are Peter Whittle AM as Deputy Leader, Paul Oakden as Party Chairman and Patrick O'Flynn MEP as Principal Political Advisor.

Paul has used his acceptance speech to call for unity and warned that members who just want to cause trouble will not be welcome in the party. The time for infighting and factionalism has come to an end.

"Due to the number of candidates and the impracticality of voting by email for the NEC election, that deadline has been extended to 9th December."

So when will the results be announced?

They ran out of time counting on Sunday as the turnout was larger than expected and there were so many candidates. They are counting again on Thursday. The counting is all being done by volunteers and overseen by the returning officer.
