President of the Liberal Democrats
From 2011 to 2015, Farron served as president of the Liberal Democrats. He became popular in the party because he did not vote for higher university tuition fees.
Leader of the Liberal Democrats
After the heavy Liberal Democrat party losses in the 2015 election, Nick Clegg resigned as party leader. This caused a leadership election to be held. Farron beat his rival Norman Lamb and was elected leader.
Farron resigned as Lib Dem leader after the 2017 general election.
