Chris Mason has been appointed The Bbc 's new political editor, The Corporation has announced.

The Yorkshire-born broadcaster, 41, has been a BBC journalist for two decades and currently hosts Radio 4 's Any Questions? programme.

Mason replaces Laura Kuenssberg , who stepped down earlier this year.

" What a tremendous privilege to take on what, for me, is The Most extraordinary job in British broadcasting and journalism, " Mason said.

" I clamber upon the shoulders Of Giants like Laura, Nick and Andrew with a smattering of trepidation and a shedload of excitement and enthusiasm. "

Mason's appointment comes at a time The Bbc is continuing to make efforts to hire and promote people with regional voices and offer more out-of-London perspectives.

He was one of the original hosts of Newscast (formerly known as Brexitcast) and previously worked on The Bbc 's regional desk at Westminster and as a political reporter for BBC Radio 5 Live.

Mason became a political correspondent for The Corporation in 2012 and occasionally stands in as a presenter on Bbc Breakfast .

He will take up his new post in May, following the UK's local elections, and will continue to front Any Questions? until the summer.

Kuenssberg will take over Bbc One 's Sunday Morning politics show, which was previously fronted by Andrew Marr , in September .
