Jason Moorhouse says chief is taking a collective approach to his leadership style
The new infrastructure minister has described Chris Thomas as a departure from his 'autocratic' predecessors.
Mr Thomas was elected Ard-Shirveishagh by his colleagues last week and promised to be 'first among equals'.
Alfred Cannan was the most recent chief minister, with Howard Quayle filling the top position before him.
