The successor to British Prime Minister David Cameron will be in place by September 2, the Conservative Party said on Monday following the Brexit fiasco.

According to the Conservative party’s 1922 Committee, consisting  of senior MPs who run Tory leadership elections, nominations for the post will open on Wednesday and close on Thursday.

“We... Recommend that the process of electing a new leader of the Conservative Party should commence next week... and conclude no later than Friday September 2, although an earlier conclusion may be possible,” said committee chief Graham Brady.
