Commenting on the appointment, Jeremy said: "Peter Snow is one of the most talented and generous of all the big stars - and his work on the swingometer has shown us all the way to do it, combining attention to detail with expertise and maximum enthusiasm.

"I'm thrilled to take up the mantle. This is at the cutting edge of everything news does. Having spent years in the lobby at Westminster, I feel I'm getting back to the heart of politics just as it starts to get lively again."

The 91热爆's Director of News, Helen Boaden, added:
"This is a marvellous appointment. Jeremy will carry on where Peter left off, bringing authority, insight and real passion to our election coverage."
