Former Uefa secretary general, Gianni Infantino, succeeds Sepp Blatter as newly elected president of the world football's governing body.
Voting went to a second round when Infantino failed to pull majority votes.
He was followed by an alleged favorite of the Confederation of African Football (CAF), Sheikh Salman of Bahrain.
However, after the second round, Infantino won 27 more votes than Sheikh Salman to grab the position.
He recorded 115 votes whilst Sheikh Salman got 88 votes, with Prince Ali 4 votes and Jerome Champagne getting 0 at the end of the second round.
Infantino takes over from Acting Fifa President, and President of CAF, Issa Hayatou and succeeds fellow Swiss Sepp Blatter.
Below is Myjoyonline.com's infographic presentation of the voting result after the emergency congress.
