LONDON, Jan 5: The leader of Britain’s second main opposition party called a snap leadership contest on Thursday after admitting he had been battling a drink addiction.
Charles Kennedy of the centrist Liberal Democrats said he had been ‘seeking to cope with a drinking problem’.
He said that, given the personal nature of the problem, the party ought to vote immediately on whether he should remain in position, adding that he felt fit to carry on.—AFP
