By Oliver Dyer, Iona Stewart-Richardson
Cllr Hastings and Dave Stewart
The Isle of Wight Conservatives have chosen a new 'interim leader' - less than 24 hours on from Dave Stewart's ousting.
Cllr Steve Hastings has been picked as Mr Stewart's successor and will now head up the Island's Conservative Group.
Cllr Hastings has been on the Isle of Wight Council for four years and yesterday retained his seat by winning the Brighstone, Calbourne and Shalfleet.
