Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to Name New First Presidency
A new First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is expected to be announced at Temple Square at 1 p.m.
The Church's highest governing body, the First Presidency, consists of three apostles, including the President of the Church and his two counselors.

According to tradition,
President Dallin H. Oaks, the senior-most member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, is expected to be selected as Nelson's successor as the President of the Church.
