Brokenshire resigns, leadership election calls

Chair of the CCU Parliamentary Governing Body, the 569AER Committee, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan MP, gave a post-election speech outside CCU HQ regarding the status of their leader, James Brokenshire.
"The Chair of the Coalition of Conservative Unionists, Patrick McLoughlin, has called upon me to recall the Conservative Private Members' Committee, the 569AER Committee of the Parliamentary Party. Former Chancellor James Brokenshire has, as of this morning, resigned as Party Leader following a passed resolution for a leadership challenge. The Former Chancellor is a well respected statesman and leader who I expressed his intention to step down post-election and will not be running for reelection. The Former Chancellor wishes to me say a few words on his behalf: he is taking a back seat from politics as he wishes to spend more time with his family, who he lost contact with while serving in Government. As per Party Constitution, the Party Chair, who is appointed by the Leader, will continue as Interim Leader.
My role as Chairman of the 569AER Committee is to run and organise the leadership elections. I can announce today that applications for the race have been completed and the pool of candidates has been approved. Let me make clear, however, I am not making a statement on the election, rather I speak on the leadership election and that alone. The confirmed candidates are as follows:
Hendrik Frensch Verwoerd, Party Associate Chairman for Campaigning and Member of Parliament for Durban and Cape.
Ian Smith, Vice Chair of the No Turning Back tendency and Member of Parliament for Umzingwane.
Godfrey Huggins, Member of Parliament for Salisbury North.
And, finally, Zoltán Tildy, Member of Parliament for Hannvahn.
I wish all candidates luck and will announce the result when I have it."
