Conservative Members Promised “FINAL SAY“ Vote To Replace Rishi Sunak

Bob Blackman MP, newly elected chairman of the 1922 committee, says rules around the election of a new Conservative Party leader are “up for complete discussion“. He also promised that Tory Party members will “get the final say“ in a leadership election: “I’m absolutely determined to make sure that party members get the final over the election of the party leader.“ Bob Blackman will lead the 1922 Committee of backbench MPs after a vote which another prominent Tory described as “bent”. The Harrow East MP has taken over from Sir Graham Brady, who has been given a peerage, and will be tasked with setting the rules and timetable for the next leadership contest. Former prime minister Rishi Sunak fired the starter pistol on a contest to replace him last week, when he announced he would “step down as party leader, not immediately, but once the formal arrangements” for choosing a replacement are in place.
