Conservative leadership election: 
How the new PM will be picked
After Boris Johnson's decision to stand down as Conservative Party Leader, the rules have been announced for how the next prime minister (PM) will be picked.

The next PM will be elected by members of the Conservative Party around the country after the list of candidates is first whittled down by Conservative Members of Parliament (MPs).

The vote organisers - a group of MPs called the 1922 Committee - say the new person should be announced on 5 September 2022.

So far 11 people have put their names forward, but that could change.
