A new Prime Minister for the UK will be announced on September 5, it's been revealed. The leader of the Conservative Party's powerful 1922 Committee has announced that as the day Boris Johnson's successor will be confirmed.
Nominations for the role will open and close on Tuesday (July 12). Sir Graham Brady, chairman of the 1922 committee, said he hopes the contest will bring "proper constructive debate".
In order to stand, a candidate must gain the support of 20 MPs. This rule means the less well-known contenders may not have a chance of making it onto the ballot paper.
