About The Contender


Sixteen boxers from across the United States of America compete amidst several personal problems to become the ultimate winner.

Next Conservative leader and PM to be unveiled by 5 September

Feb 16,2020 3:34 am

The Next Conservative leader and UK Prime Minister will be announced on 5 September , party bosses have announced.

In a bid to rapidly eliminate fringe candidates, they have also decided to make it harder to enter into and progress in The Contest .

Tory MPs will whittle The Field down to two final candidates before The End of Next week, in successive rounds of voting.

Around 160,000 party members will then pick The Winner in a postal ballot.

Eleven candidates have come forward So Far in The Race to replace Boris Johnson , who resigned last week after a revolt among his MPs and ministers.

Other candidates could still enter The Race , with Home Secretary Priti Patel believed to be weighing up whether to run.

The 1922 backbench committee, which organises leadership contests, has decided candidates will now require 20 nominations from fellow Tory MPs to stand, up from 8 at The Last contest.

Contenders will also require at least 30 votes from Tory MPs to progress past The First round of voting, up from 18 last time.

Committee chairman Sir Graham Brady said they had aimed to strike a balance between letting " serious candidates" enter The Contest , and avoiding a " cast of thousands who don't really have great prospect of progressing".

Conservative leadership timetable

Tuesday 12 July - nominations to get on the ballot open and close

Wednesday 13 July - First round of voting among Tory MPs

Thursday 14 July - likely date for second round of voting

Monday 18 July - likely date for third round of voting, if required

Thursday 21 July - Deadline for deciding final two candidates

Monday 5 September - Winner announced

The Contender with The Most declared supporters among MPs is currently former Chancellor Rishi Sunak , followed by Trade Minister Penny Mordaunt and backbencher Tom Tugendhat .

The Contest So Far has been dominated by the issue of taxation, with nearly all of the candidates pledging cuts to personal or business taxes, or both.

Speaking earlier, Mr Johnson said he would not be endorsing any of the candidates running to replace him.

" I wouldn't want to damage anyone's chances with my support, " he added.

The Party has had to strike a balance between Getting On with things and giving The Party a chance for a hearty debate about its future.

Requiring 20 nominations to get on the ballot paper may prove tricky for some, but it's not as high a hurdle as some had thought it might be.

And getting to 30 nominations to make The Second round will Knock Out some more, although again it's not as high as The 10 % of the parliamentary party, 36, suggested by some over the weekend.

In short, very quickly, this broad field will narrow considerably - And Then it will prove crucial where the supporters of some of the early drop outs go to Next .
