Video: Naomi Long named new leader of Alliance party

Naomi Long said she was daunted and excited in equal measure after being elected the new leader of the Alliance Party.

Mrs Long's appointment at a special party council meeting in east Belfast was a foregone conclusion, given she was the only member to put her name forward to succeed retiring David Ford.

The former MP, who had served as deputy leader for ten years, vowed to work hard to deliver electoral success for the cross-community party.
