    How will the contest to replace Liz Truss as UK prime minister work?

    The election to replace Liz Truss as prime minister is to be completed next week.

    1922 Committee chair Graham Brady said he would set out further details on the process later in the day.

    Here is what we know so far:

    - The contest to be concluded by 28 October

    - The expectation is that Conservative Party members will be involved in the process

    - Party rules say two candidates would be put forward to the membership, unless there is only one candidate remaining
