The Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) has SLOTXO appointed its second new leader in just two months.
Sir Jeffrey Donaldson was ratified as party leader on 30 June.
It comes after Edwin Poots was forced to resign following an internal revolt after just 21 days in the job.
That followed the ousting of former First Minister Arlene Foster following an internal revolt.
BBC News NI explains what the recent developments with the DUP could mean for the future of power-sharing at Stormont.
Why did Edwin Poots resign?
There are several key reasons behind his political downfall.
Mr Poots was elected to lead the party following a contest on 14 May, after he narrowly beat the DUP's Westminster leader Sir Jeffrey Donaldson by two votes.
He was criticised for not mentioning Sir Jeffrey in his acceptance speech and for his role in helping to oust Mrs Foster just weeks earlier.
At the ratification of his leadership on 27 May, divisions within the party were publicly and painfully exposed.
So, what did the party do next?
Sir Jeffrey Donaldson is the DUP's fifth leader in its 50-year history.
Sir Jeffrey was ratified as party leader at a meeting of the DUP's central executive committee on 30 June after he was endorsed at a meeting of the electoral college on Saturday 26 June.
Only MPs and MLAs form the college and the 130-strong executive is made up of MPs, MLAs, peers and representatives from the party's 17 constituency associations and university groups.
