The United Kingdom’s Conservative Party on Tuesday agreed on new set of rules to limit the number of leadership candidates from their party.
Michael Fabricant, a member of Parliament, explained the changes in a series of tweets.
Candidates will need to win 5 percent of votes, or support from 16 Tory members, in the first ballot and 10 percent, or 32 members, in the second in order to progress.
Once just two candidates remain, the whole Conservative Party will pick a new leader.
British Prime Minister Theresa May announced her resignation last month over her failure to secure a Brexit deal, necessitating the election of a new conservative leader.
{mosadS}She is set to resign as the head of the Tory Party on Friday, but will remain prime minister until her successor is appointed.
There are 11 candidates jostling for the position.
The rule change comes during President Trump’s state visit to the U.K.
Trump had said prior to the trip that he might meet with ex-foreign secretary Boris Johnson, one of the front-runners for the position, while he is in the country.
The two spoke on the phone Tuesday, and Johnson reportedly told Trump he could not see the president because of a previous commitment.
