A rollercoaster few months for Nicholas Boles - and for the Grantham and Stamford Conservative Association - has ended in success with his adoption as the Conservative candidate to succeed Quentin Davies.
Nick skipped Tory Conference in order to dedicate himself to the selection process that concluded tonight.
He beat Steve Barclay, James Brokenshire and Vicky Ford.
He inherits a projected Conservative majority of 6,636.
