Leadership Election
A leadership election is a political contest held in various countries by which the members of a political party determine who will be the leader of their party. Generally, any political party can determine its own rules governing how and when a leadership election is to be held for that party. In the United Kingdom, for example: A leadership election may be required at intervals set by party rules, or it may be held in response to a certain proportion of those eligible to vote expressing a lack of confidence in the current leadership. In the UK Conservative Party, for example, "a leadership election can be triggered by a vote of no confidence by Conservative MPs in their current leader".Peter Joyce, ''Politics: A Complete Introduction: Teach Yourself'' (2015), p. 112.

An intra-party election held to select its candidates for external offices, such as a president, governor, prime minister or member of a le ...
