Treasurer Dominic Perrottet has been elected the 46th Premier of NSW following a Liberal Party room vote this morning.
Planning Minister Rob Stokes also challenged for the leadership but was only able to secure five votes against Perrottet's 39.
Tourism Minister Stuart Ayers will become the new Deputy leader of the state Liberal Party.
Liberal coalition partner the Nationals, will hold a party room meeting on Wednesday to vote for a new leader of the party after John Barilaro announced his resignation from Parliament on Monday.
It all follows the resignation of Gladys Berejiklian on Friday after the Independent Commission Against Corruption announced it would be investigating her conduct in allocating grants, including to former disgraced Wagga Wagga MP Daryl Maguire.
