Conservative members of the UK parliament will on Monday see the confirmed list of their colleagues who want the top party job when nominations close at 5 p.m. (1600 UTC).
A record 11 candidates are challenging after former leader and still Prime Minister Theresa May sent in her letter of resignation on Friday, Deutsche Welle reports.
Heading the pack to win the vote are:
-
former Foreign Secretary and London mayor Boris Johnson
-
current Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt
-
former Leader of the House of Commons Andrea Leadsom
-
current Environment Secretary Michael Gove.
