Quote:"The Lower Saxony state parliament made history on Thursday by electing conservative German-Scot David McAllister premier, making him the youngest-ever state leader and the first to hold British citizenship." Unquote

McAllister (39) became Governor of the Northwestern German Federal State just one day after the Federal Assembly in Berlin had elected his predecessor, Christian Wulff (51), as new German Federal President and head of state.
