Tim Farron has confirmed he will run to be the new Liberal Democrat leader.
Mr Farron joins former health minister Norman Lamb as the contenders to replace Nick Clegg following the party's disastrous general election results.
Tim Farron, one of the Liberal Democrats' last remaining MPs, has insisted that his party is not dead despite their dreadful showing in Thursday's General Election.
He told ITV News that if his party did not exist, "you would have to invent it".
He said: "We are absolutely going to fight back and rebuild from the grass roots, because the space is there that needs to be filled."
The rapper told his 859,000 followers on Twitter that he was a fan of the North Norfolk MP.
