At the same time, Adrian Ramsay won re-election as deputy leader after defeating a challenge from the former principal speaker Derek Wall.
All members of the party were sent ballot papers in the post with their copy of the party's magazine, Green World and voting ended shortly after hustings were held at the party's autumn conference in Birmingham where members who had not already posted their ballot papers could vote in person at conference.
Prior to 2008, the party had used a system of principal speakers instead of leaders. Following an internal vote in 2007, the party elected individual leaders. Caroline Lucas, who had previously been elected as principal speaker, was chosen in 2008 as the first leader of the Green Party, beating Ashley Gunstock to win with more than 90% of the vote.
