The results of the election for the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom will be announced from 8:30 am Brasilia time on Monday (5).
The final race for the next Conservative Party leader and consequently the next Prime Minister was between Foreign Secretary Liz Truss and former Finance Minister Rishi Sunak.
See below what the steps are in the transition between Boris Johnson and the winner.
How Elections Work
The leader of the Conservative Party, which has the majority in the British Parliament, also holds the post of Prime Minister of England.
Several rounds of polling are being held among conservative representatives. In each of them, the lowest-voted candidate is eliminated from contention. This phase took place in July.
In the final phase, between the two final candidates, all party members can participate in the examination and votes are sent by post.
The results of the mail-in vote of all party members will be announced on Monday, September 5 at 8:30 a.m. Brasilia time.

Contrary to tradition on Tuesday (6), the appointment of the new prime minister will not take place at Buckingham Palace in London. It will be held at Balmoral Castle in Scotland, where Queen Elizabeth spends her summers.
The 96-year-old monarch has had to cut back on her public appearances this year due to episodic mobility issues and will not travel to London.
Johnson is expected to make a statement outside Downing Street on Tuesday morning before traveling to Scotland to present his resignation letter to the Queen.
The winner of the election will be officially invited to meet the Queen and form the government.
When a new prime minister is appointed, the court circular, the official record of royal families, will record “hands kissed by the prime minister in appointment”.
Queen Elizabeth had 14 Prime Ministers during her 70-year reign.
The new prime minister returns to London to deliver a speech at Downing Street at 4pm (12pm GMT).
The new prime minister will appoint a cabinet and ministers will meet on Wednesday morning before the new prime minister arrives in the House of Commons, where he will be questioned alongside Labor’s opposition leader Keir Starmer.
