The next leader of the country will soon be announced following an eight-week-long Tory leadership contest.
It is now expected that Liz Truss will become Boris Johnson's successor and lead number 10 after leading the polls against rival Rishi Sunak. However, the final results are not set in stone and we will have to wait for Sir Graham Brady to declare the winner.
Conservative party members will have all cast their votes in for the next leader by now since the polls closed on Friday, September 2. Following this, the winner will be announced just after noon today (Monday, September 5). Both candidates and their teams, alongside a sea of party members, will gather at the QEII centre in Westminster where the announcement event will be opened by Conservative Party chairman Andrew Stephenson at around 12.30pm.
