The island's newly elected MHKs will be sworn in today.

It comes after a major overhaul of the Isle of Man's political system last week.

Four government ministers lost their seats while three other MHKs were voted out of office in the general election on Thursday.

This morning eleven new MHKs will be sworn in before the first sitting of the new House of Keys.

Members now have a couple of weeks to decide who will become the next Chief Minister.

Nominations for the CM role will be put forward at a sitting of the House of Keys on 12 October.
