He beat former ministers Yvette Cooper, Andy Burnham and shadow minister Liz Kendall in a landslide victory to claim almost 60 per cent of first preference votes.
Corbyn was an outsider when he entered the race, but has seen off his closest rival by more than 40 per cent.
Tom Watson has been elected Labour deputy leader.
