The Liberal Democrats have elected ExplosiveHorse as the party's first elected president, following Demon4372's unsuccessful attempt previously.

Results of the election were announced on Monday after three days of voting. In a close election, /u/ExplosiveHorse narrowly beat /u/ThatThingInTheCorner by just 2 votes, with the former achieving 10 votes (56%) and the latter achieving 8 votes (44%).

/u/ExplosiveHorse is a universally liked figure within the Liberal Democrats and many assume that his new role as party president. In this position, he will have the responsibility to vet and introduce new members, be a point of contact for members, oversee changes to the party constitution, co-ordinate advertising and campaigning, promote activity in the party, and sit on the executive. There are no doubts that /u/ExplosiveHorse will succeed.

This is the second election in the Liberal Democrats for president. During the previous election, /u/Demon4372 ran unopposed and assumed that he would win the vote. Famously, however he had been unsuccessful as the majority of Liberal Democrat party members voted to re-open nominations.
