British Prime Minister Theresa May formally notified her Conservative Party on Friday that she had resigned as party leader, opening the way for a succession contest that will determine the country's next prime minister.
May will remain prime minister and acting party leader until Conservative Party lawmakers and members select a new leader after a process that is expected to last several weeks.
Nominations for the Conservative leadership close at 1600 GMT on Monday. (Reporting by David Milliken; editing by Stephen Addison)
