HENRY BOLTON is the newly elected leader of UKIP following a shock result that saw the lesbian favourite to win, Anne-Marie Waters loose the contest.
Waters had built a dedicated movement of supporters thanks to her anti-Islam stance and was the bookies favourite to win the leadership contest.
The right-wing Party that forced David Cameron to hold the EU Referendum has chosen Henry Bolton who is a former army officer who received backing from former leader Nigel Farage.
I am delighted @_HenryBolton has won the UKIP leadership election. He is a man of real substance.

Bolton won 30 per cent of the votes cast in a seven-horse race.
