Mr Gove, who stepped down from Parliament at the general election, was a journalist before he became a Conservative MP. He takes on his new role as editor of the right-leaning magazine as the Conservative party prepares to elect its next leader.
Mr Sayers stated that Mr Gove was 'perfectly suited to the role', emphasizing the significance of his background in journalism and recent political experience for his upcoming editorship.
Fraser Nelson, the outgoing editor, called Mr Gove 'the clear successor', highlighting his unique career path of being a first-class journalist before entering politics.
Mr Nelson leaves after 15 successful years during a transitional period for the magazine, with new ownership and a focus on digital growth that he helped to foster.
