Doug Beattie has said his management style may be rough around the edges after being ratified as the new Ulster Unionist Party leader.
Members of the party met virtually on Thursday evening to confirm Mr Beattie as successor to Steve Aiken, who stepped down earlier this month.
Afterwards Mr Beattie said: I guess we all think we bring something unique to a political party. I m no different. I articulate myself in a different, particular way.
He added: My management and leadership styles are very different. I m a little bit rough around the edges. I think people like that rough around the edges.
