Theresa May is the now reportedly only remaining candidate to be the new leader of Britain's ruling Conservative Party and a formal process will now take place to confirm her in the role
Graham Brady, a party committee running the leadership contest, made the statement minutes after Andrea Leadsom, who had been running against May, announced she was pulling out.
