According to reports, those who intend to join the election must win the nomination of at least 100 Conservative MPs before 14:00 local time on the 24th. There are 357 Conservative MPs in the UK Parliament, which means that at most three candidates can pass the threshold in the first round of voting.

If two people reach the 100 nomination threshold, Conservative MPs will vote again.
