Scotland's Louise Martin is the new president of the Commonwealth Games Federation.
Martin headed off incumbent Prince Tunku Imran of Malaysia in a two-way battle for the post during the CGF general assembly in Auckland on Wednesday, and becomes the first woman to head the organisation.
A former athlete and Scottish team manager, Martin was previously the Commonwealth Games' honorary secretary.
She was also vice-chair of the organising committee for the 2014 Glasgow Games.
Prince Tunku held the job since 2011 and was seeking a second term.
NZOC chief executive Kereyn Smith was elected one of three vice-presidents, along with Bruce Robertson (Scotland) and Gideon Sam (South Africa).
