Syria's main opposition alliance, the National Coalition, has elected a new president.
Hadi al-Bahra, the coalition's chief negotiator at the failed Geneva II peace talks with the Syrian government, was chosen at a meeting in Turkey.
Like Ahmed al-Jarba, whom he replaces, he has close ties to Saudi Arabia.
Though the coalition is backed by the US and Gulf Arab states, it has little influence over the rebels trying to topple President Bashar al-Assad.
The hardline Islamist and jihadist fighters that dominate the rebel movement reject the alliance's exiled leadership.
