The Conservative party chairman Brandon Lewis and the vice-chairs of the 1922 Committee, Cheryl Gillan and Charles Walker, have issued a joint statement setting out the process for selecting the next Conservative Party Leader.
Nominations will close in the week commencing 10 June. Then, successive rounds of voting will take place until a final choice of candidates to put to a vote of all party members is determined.
Together, they expect the process to be concluded by the end of June, allowing for a series of hustings around the UK for members to meet and question the candidates, then cast their votes in time for the result to be announced before parliament rises for the summer.”
