Quick guide Tory party leadership contest Show Hide What happens next in the Tory party leadership race? MPs will hold a series of votes, in order to narrow down the crowded field, which currently stands at eleven leadership hopefuls. Conservative party HQ will organise its own events; and the BBC has also announced several televised debates between the candidates. Matt Hancock, Dominic Raab and Sajid Javid have enough endorsements to clear the first hurdle but are some way off having 10% of Tory MPs – of 33 of their colleagues. Rudd’s 60-strong group of One Nation Conservative MPs will hold the first of three hustings on Tuesday night for Tory candidates.
