Kirsty Williams - new Lib Dem leader

on Monday, 8 December 2008

So the news is here. I have been proved wrong and Kirsty Williams is the new Leader of the Welsh Liberal Democrats. It turns out she was a shoe-in all along.

The new leader of the Welsh Liberal Democrats and the first woman to lead a political party in Wales is Kirsty Williams.

69.44% of the party's 2600 members voted, 59.9 per cent for Kirsty Williams and 40.1 per cent for Jenny Randerson.


Who's writing the BBC Wales website these days? Can't they get anything right anymore? This is how they reported the news:

Kirsty Williams will be [sic] become Wales' first female party leader after winning the Welsh Liberal Democrat leadership election.
