This is the Conservative Party’s first annual conference as an opposition party since 2009.
In Britain, the Conservative Party, which experienced a defeat in the July parliamentary elections, will meet on Sunday for its annual meeting to discuss the future of the party.
The four-day gathering in Birmingham comes three months after Britain’s Labor Party ousted the Conservatives in July’s general election after 14 years in power.
In the elections, the conservatives lost 251 seats in the parliament. The number of MPs in the party fell to 121, which is the lowest number in the history of the Conservative Party.
At the meeting in Birmingham, the party is supposed to focus on defeating the election defeat, as well as to discuss Rishi Sun too successor as chairman of the Conservatives.
Director candidates Kemi Badenoch, Robert Jenrick, James Cleverly and Tom Tugendhat all present at the conference. The party’s MPs will vote on the top two candidates from among them next week, and the party’s members will vote for the final winner by the end of October.
Britain’s new opposition leader will be announced on Saturday, November 2.
