Jackson Carlaw has been confirmed as the new leader of the Scottish Conservatives after winning a vote of party members.
Mr Carlaw had been the party's interim leader since Ruth Davidson quit the role in August.
He has now won the job full time after defeating fellow MSP Michelle Ballantyne by 4,917 votes to 1,581.
Mr Carlaw had been the clear favourite in the contest, and was backed by most of the party's MPs and MSPs.
He said he was now "ready to hit the ground running and win" in next year's Scottish Parliament election.
