The new British Prime Minister to replace Boris Johnson who came out will be announced on September 5, said the ruling conservative party on Monday, with 11 candidates currently competing for the work.
The leadership contest was triggered last week when Mr. Johnson, 58, was forced to resign after the hustle and bustle of more than 50 resignation from his government, contrary to the premiership hit by the scandal.
The 1922 Non-Mentrial Parliamentary Committee in Parliament on Monday outlines the schedule for party leadership elections.
The nomination will be officially opened and closed on Tuesday, with the new prime minister will be installed when the parliament returns from the summer vacation on September 5, Graham Brady, Chair of the 1922 Committee, told reporters.Tory MPS will reduce the current list to the two finals through a series of ballots, with the worst performing candidates to be eliminated after each round, before the party members choose the winner.
With a call for Mr. Johnson to leave Downing Street as soon as possible – and to avoid the process of dragging into the summer holidays of parliament members – the number is likely to be peeled quickly into only two.
Executive Secretary with the 1922 Committee, Bob Blackman, said they were committed to doing that before the parliamentary break for the summer on July 21.
In an effort to speed up the process, candidates must have at least 20 parliamentary members who support him to enter the race, up from eight ordinary, and every candidate who fails to get support from 30 parliamentary members in the first voting will be eliminated.
Among those who ran were Rishi Sung and Sajid Javid, whose departure as Minister of Finance and the Minister of Health triggered a wave of resignation.
Foreign Minister Liz Truss and the successors of Mr. Suna Nadhim Zahawi also stated, and Domestic Secretary Priti Patel reportedly pondered offers.
But the poll member of the grassroots by the ‘Conservativevehome’ website that was released on Monday showed strong support for the less well -known candidate, with former Defense Minister Penny Mordaunt holding a narrow advantage of the conservative Kemi Badenoch.
