Lyndon Farnham has been chosen to replace Kristina Moore as the Chief Minister of Jersey.
Ms Moore lost a vote of no confidence earlier this month 27-22.
Deputies Sam Mezec, Ian Gorst and Mr Farnham were the three in the running to lead the Channel Island, with Mr Mezec bowing out after round one.
In the second round, Mr Gorst received 22 votes and Mr Farnham received 27 votes.
Speaking to BBC Jersey, he said: ‘We’ve got to try and heal the assembly. I want to put together a government that’s inclusive, representing the whole assembly, representing the views of islanders and I want to get on with it.
‘My message to islanders is I want to appeal to islanders to try and get behind the assembly a little bit more. I know it’s been difficult because we’ve had a fractured assembly.’
Mr Farnham still needs to have his Council of Ministers agreed by the Senate before he takes up the job of chief minister.
