LONDON: The election of a new British Conservative Party leader is a contest traditionally marked by twists, turns and political backstabbing.

The nominations open and close on Monday and the new leader of the centre-right governing party will almost certainly take over from Theresa May as Britain’s prime minister.

Here is a guide as to what to expect in the coming weeks, where the premiership is a separate appointment and the front-runner typically falls flat on their face:

The leadership contest
Conservative MPs nominate candidates from within their own ranks, a list that is then whittled down via a series of ballots until only two are left, with grassroots party members choosing between them.

That, at least, is the plan, but it usually proves to be much more of a roller-coaster ride.

Some of the candidates will run not in the hope of winning but, once eliminated, of delivering their block of supporters to another candidate in return for a plum cabinet post.

Others could gain support in a tactical bid to block another candidate from making it to the final round.

Historically, there is nothing so brutal as a Tory leadership contest, where rivals regularly dish dirt on each other and leak – anonymously of course – salacious details to the press.

The centrist and right-wings of the party, as well as hard or soft Brexit factions, will all be looking to seize power.

In the past, the Conservatives’ winning formula has tended towards pragmatism, rather than purist idealism.

This time, MPs and party members will have to choose candidates who best represent their own views, can finally unpick the Brexit knot and win a general election.

The first ballot is on Thursday and the party hopes to be down to two candidates by June 20, with the final say by party members scheduled for the week beginning July 22.

Becoming prime minister
The Conservative Party’s new leader will not automatically become prime minister, which is a separate appointment.

May – who formally stepped down as party leader last Friday – was chief for two days before her predecessor David Cameron resigned as prime minister in 2016.

And the transition this time may similarly take a few days.

May was appointed as the head of Her Majesty’s Government by Queen Elizabeth II and remains prime minister until she informs the head of state of her resignation from the post.

The sovereign will then appoint a successor.

The post of prime minister goes to the person most likely to command the confidence of parliament’s elected lower House of Commons.

That is typically the leader of the largest party – in this case, the Conservatives who won the most seats in the last general election in 2017.

The monarch will send for the new Conservative leader and invite them to form a government.

Warning from history
But whoever emerges as the early front-runner should heed a warning from past Tory leadership elections – the favourite never wins.

The first such contest was held in 1965.

Before that, the leader simply “emerged” from talks among party bigwigs.

In 1965, Reginald Maudling was considered the favourite but Edward Heath won the contest.

Heath called a leadership election in 1975 to assert his authority and was expected to win easily.

Margaret Thatcher stood and seized the crown. Heath never forgave her.

After Thatcher was forced out in 1990 when she failed to beat challenger Michael Heseltine by a big enough margin to carry on, John Major entered the race and beat Heseltine.

When Major stepped down in 1997, heavyweight Kenneth Clarke was the clear favourite and topped the first two ballots.

But in the final round, the relatively unknown William Hague won, aged 36.

When Hague quit in 2001, Michael Portillo led the first two rounds.

But he was eliminated in the final three, Clarke topping the votes with Iain Duncan Smith coming second.

The lesser-known Duncan Smith then won the party membership vote – a new mechanism introduced by Hague.

In 2005, David Davis was the runaway favourite before moderniser and youthful outsider Cameron gained unstoppable momentum.

And in the 2016 contest that saw May emerge victorious, Boris Johnson was the favourite before being politically knifed in the back by his chief ally Michael Gove, forcing him to pull out before voting even began

KUALA LUMPUR, June 10 — Former Retirement Fund Incorporated (KWAP) chief executive Datuk Azian Mohd Noh said she could not rule out being influenced by a handwritten note from former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak about a loan to SRC International Sdn Bhd, the High Court heard today.

During today’s hearing, Azian was explaining the context of her previous testimony on the meanings of the words “influenced” and “compelled” from when she was asked if she felt the note from Najib obligated her to approve the loan.

“As I mentioned earlier, the words compulsion and influence give different connotations. I did say there was no legal compulsion but I cannot say the same for influence.

“The notation in the letter was addressed to me and it came from the finance minister and prime minister, the person in charge of KWAP. He is my ultimate boss.

“So I cannot deny there is a certain amount of influence,” she told the court during re-examination by deputy public prosecutor Datuk Ishak Mohd Yusoff here.

Previously, Azian told the court she agreed that the pension fund’s investment panel did not approve a proposed loan to SRC International in its July 5, 2011 meeting, despite receiving a letter with then prime minister Najib’s notation of approval.

The June 3, 2011 letter from SRC International proposing a RM3.95 billion loan from KWAP was addressed to Najib, with Najib adding on his note of approval on June 5, 2011.

The letter was hand-delivered by Najib’s then special officer Datuk Azlin Alias to Azian in a hotel lobby after office hours in June 2011.

Azian also previously confirmed that she had read Najib’s note together with the June 2011 letter’s title, taking it to mean that the then prime minister agreed to SRC International’s proposal for KWAP to “invest” RM3.95 billion into the company.

However, KWAP’s Fixed Income Department later prepared an investment paper to propose KWAP consider lending only RM1 billion instead of the RM3.95 billion sought by SRC International.

When asked later by Najib’s lawyer, Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah, to clarify what she meant by “influence”, Azian explained that she felt it was not an uncommon reaction from a subordinate when instructions were given from a superior.

When pressed if she, as a responsible KWAP chief executive, would have made a decision against the interest of KWAP purely based on her superior’s “influence”, she disagreed.

“As the chief executive, it is my fiduciary duty to protect KWAP to not suffer losses on its investment,” she said.

“I cannot give a yes or no answer, as it could be misconstrued, but whatever influence I perceived, I would not be doing something that will breach any law or Act,” she responded when asked again by Shafee if she had made any decisions as KWAP CEO based on hierarchical pressure.

Azian is the 38th prosecution witness of Najib’s ongoing trial involving seven charges of abuse of position, criminal breach of trust and money-laundering over RM42 million of SRC International’s funds.

JOHOR BARU, June 10 — A patrol car that drove against traffic on the Second Link Expressway yesterday was responding to a nearby accident, Johor police explained today.

Johor deputy police chief Datuk Mohd Kamarudin Md Din said the patrol car from the police southern zone highway patrol unit had taken all safety measures into consideration before driving against traffic in an effort to give immediate and early response in the 2.30am incident.

“The patrol car took all precautions, such as flashing the vehicle’s beacon lights, siren and also driving on the expressway’s emergency lane.

“It was necessary action as traffic was not heavy and it was deemed safe for the patrol car as the accident scene was less than 1.5km from them,” said Mohd Kamarudin in a statement today.

He was responding to a video on social media yesterday that featured a police patrol car going against traffic at Kilometre 23 of the Second Link Expressway (East Bound) near the Taman Perling Toll Plaza.

Mohd Kamarudin added that the early response by the patrol car team saw the two policemen immediately controlling the traffic flow at the scene and also rendering assistance to the accident victim before paramedics arrived.

He said the police patrol car was earlier en-route to the Taman Perling Toll Plaza towards Johor Baru city centre when they were notified of the nearby accident by passing motorists.

“Police are following-up the matter in a detailed investigation,” said Mohd Kamarudin.

In Malaysia, marked police vehicles have to follow the Road Transport Act and comply with the highway code and traffic signs.

However, there are exemptions that apply in cases of emergencies and they are allowed to break the speed limits, go through red lights and also in certain circumstances, drive against traffic provided safety measures are complied with.
