Archbishop Laurent Mbanda has been "unanimously" elected as Chairman of the - newly created, freshly-named - Global Anglican Council (GAC).

The news comes on day three of the Global G26 Conference being held in Abuja, Nigeria by Gafcon, the worldwide movement of conservative, Bible-based Anglicans.

In an announcement on its website, it was revealed that the Gafcon Primates have dissolved the "Gafcon Primates Council", and are creating a new "Global Anglican Council".
