The Liberal Democrats had been due to announce their new leader in July, but then postponed the leadership contest to next year. They have now reconsidered and decided to hold the contest this summer after all. The result is due shortly after August 26th.

According to the LibDems' website, the idea is to have the new leader in place before the (virtual) party conference in September.
Most likely to stand are Ed Davey, Layla Moran, Wera Hobhouse and potentially Daisy Cooper.
