Brown Becomes Labour Leader

World | June 24, 2007, Sunday // 00:00

Gordon Brown has been crowned Labour leader, promising to give the party not just policies but "a soul", BBC reported.

Tony Blair said his longtime chancellor had "all the qualities to mark him out as a great prime minister" when he takes over on Wednesday.

Brown praised Mr Blair and pledged to "renew" the party to meet voters' changing aspirations.

It follows Harriet Harman's narrow win in the six-way race to succeed John Prescott as deputy Labour leader.

Tony Blair quits as Labour Party leader after 13 years and will stand down on June 27 as prime minister after 10 years in power.
