Theresa May is set to replace David Cameron as Conservative party leader as early as Wednesday this week, with the handover of power set to be after the Prime Minister's questions on Wednesday evening.
David Cameron has confirmed the news on Twitter and The 1922 committee is holding discussions with the Conservative Party board to discuss confirming Mrs May as the winner.
Removal vans have been booked to help Mr Cameron move out of his home of six years after the leadership contest, which was scheduled to run until September 9, was abruptly halted at 12.15pm UK time on Monday.
Of course, this means that we have a woman Prime Minister in charge of our country - for the second-time in British politics.
Margaret Thatcher, a fellow conservative, governed the country from 1979 - 1990 and is the current longest-serving British Prime Minister of the 20th century.
Mrs May, 59, who backed staying in the EU, has been home secretary since 2010.
The decision to appoint Theresa was made after Andrea Leadsom, who campaigned to leave the EU, withdrew from the party leader race.
Andrea said the UK needed "strong and stable government" and that Mrs May was "ideally placed" to implement Brexit.
In a speech earlier on this week setting out her leadership campaign platform, Mrs May - who rejected the argument that the next leader of this country needed to be from the 'Leave' camp - said: "Brexit means Brexit and we're going to make a success of it."
Mrs May is also expected to make a public statement this evening.
