Sir Menzies wins Lib Dem contest

Sir Menzies acknowledges his moment of victory
Sir Menzies Campbell has been elected leader of the Liberal Democrat Party.
Sir Menzies, 64, who was Lib Dem foreign affairs spokesman and acting leader, topped a ballot of party members after a five week campaign.

He beat economic affairs spokesman Chris Huhne in the final run off. Party President Simon Hughes came third.

Sir Menzies, who got 57% of the vote, said he was ready to take risks to "modernise" the party and lead it "back to government".
