A vote of no confidence for British Prime Minister Theresa May is set to take on wednesday following the long political battle over her Brexit plan which has seen her lose several cabinet members.
Conservative lawmakers -the largest party in the House of Commons- will hold the vote between 18:00 GMT and 20:00 GMT.
May has released a statement saying she plans to "contest that vote with everything I have got".
She also warned that ousting her as Prime Minister amounts "delaying or even stopping Brexit" and "put our country's future at risk and create uncertainty when we can least afford it"
She added that a new prime minister would have to scrap or extend Article 50, the mechanism taking Britain out of the EU on 29 March.
The challenge to Mrs May's position comes after the required 48 letters calling for a contest were delivered.
