Doug Beattie Ratified As UUP Leader
Doug Beattie has been ratified as leader of the Ulster Unionist Party (UUP).
Speaking to the Press Association he said his management style may be "rough around the edges".
He said: “My CV is not a political CV, it's a completely different type of CV.
"My management and leadership styles are very different. I think I’m a little bit rough around the edges. I think people like that rough around the edges.
"So I think there’s a manner in which I could help engage. Why is that important? Because if I can engage, then I can tell people what our policies are.
"When people can see what our policies are, they will understand what the Ulster Unionist Party is all about."
