LONDON - Britain’s governing Conservatives on Tuesday agreed rules for the contest to replace Prime Minister Theresa May as party chief, including measures to eliminate candidates more quickly from a crowded race.
May is due to resign as leader of the Conservatives on Friday, but will remain prime minister in a caretaker capacity until a successor is appointed - a process which the party has said should be completed by the end of July. Former Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson, his successor Jeremy Hunt, former Brexit minister Dominic Raab and environment minister Michael Gove are among the frontrunners in the contest.
Candidates would then need to win 5% of a vote - or 16 votes - among lawmakers to get through the first round, and then 10% to stay in the contest in the second ballot.The first ballot of Conservative lawmakers will take place on June 13, the party said, with further ballots scheduled for June 18, 19 and 20.
