Comment: Thanks for starting this draft. I've merged the "Contenders" and "Results" sections to 1922 Committee#History. Did you still want to create a separate article? Wikishovel (talk) 15:57, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
The 2024 1922 Committee leadership contest was a contest fought in 2024 to determine the next leader of the 1922 Committee, the parliamentary group of the Conservative Party in the UK House of Commons. The contest was initiated after long standing chair Sir Graham Brady stood down from the House of Commons.
The Committee is likely to play an important role in the Conservative Party leadership election, to replace former Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.[1]
Contenders
editThe 1922 Committee was left with two remaining members after the 2024 UK general election, who were the only two Conservative Party MPs to stand. They were Bob Blackman, the MP for Harrow East, who increased his majority in the election despite a national Labour landslide,[2] and Sir Geoffrey Clifton-Brown, the MP for the newly formed constituency of North Costswolds, who has been an MP since 1992. [3]
Results
editBlackman won the contest by a 61 votes to 37 with 98 votes cast.[4]
