Prime Minister Boris Johnson will face a vote of no confidence on Monday evening local time, the Conservative Party's 1922 Committee confirms.
"Tonight is a chance to end months of speculation and allow the government to draw a line and move on," the spokesperson said in a statement.
Foreign Secretary Liz Truss — who has been considered as a potential successor to Mr Johnson — said she would back the Prime Minister "100 per cent" and encouraged colleagues to do the same.
