Rishi Sunak will remain acting leader until the appointment of a successor, the Conservative Party says
Britain ’s Conservative Party said on Monday it will name its new leader on Nov. 2, following the party’s worst-ever election performance this month that prompted former Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to say he would stand down.
The leadership contest will see the party narrow down the field of nominations to four candidates who will make their case at the Conservative Party conference. The Times, which was first to report the contest, said up to eight candidates were expected to put their names forward.
