Twarit Vishwa: Scott Morrison set to be Australia's new PM
Ending days of political chaos in Australia, former treasurer Scott Morrison is all set to become the 30th prime minister of the country after emerging victorious in a leadership vote.
Morrison, who is a member of the ruling Liberal party's conservative faction, narrowly defeated former home affairs minister Peter Dutton by 45-40 in a closed-door trust vote, CNN quoted the party's whip Nola Marino as saying.
Marino further confirmed that Environment and Energy Minister Josh Frydenberg has been elected as the deputy leader of the Liberal Party.
The Australian prime minister-designate, who will be succeeding Malcolm Turnbull, is a long-time advocate of a strict border protection regime for the country.
The political crisis in Australia began after Turnbull drew flak from conservative lawmakers within his party over the changes he made to the National Energy Guarantee policy earlier this month.
