Jeffery Donaldson Will Be Next Leader Of DUP
He was the only person to put his name forward
Edwin Poots resigned last week after 20 days in the job, following an internal revolt.
Sky's senior Ireland correspondent David Blevins says the focus will be on keeping power-sharing afloat at Stormont.
"Arlene Foster was ousted for not taking a tough enough line, they felt, against the Brexit protocol. Edwin Poots has been ousted for very, very similar reasons. Sir Jeffrey is going to want some concessions from the British government in relation to that trade border in the Irish Sea before he makes a similar commitment."
