CO TYRONE farmer Edward Stevenson was unanimously re-elected on Wednesday as grand master of the Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland.
The 60-year-old from Ardstraw, who has held the post since January 2011, was re-elected at a meeting in Ballintra, Co Donegal.
Mr Stevenson said it was a "tremendous privilege" to continue in the role.
"It is deeply humbling, and I am extremely proud, to once again receive the confidence of the membership of the institution," he said.
Harold Henning was re-elected as deputy grand master. Drew Nelson also retains his position as grand secretary.
