Next Chief Minister to be elected in October 

The Isle of Man's next Chief Minister will be elected in October.

Tynwald will be summoned to a special sitting on October 4th where the decision will be made. 

Ahead of this Tynwald Members will submit their nominations in writing by September 27th - just five days after the General Election. 

Those nominated will then be required to submit a written policy statement to the Clerk of Tynwald two days later - once circulated these statements will then be made public. 

Following a vote the new Chief Minister - who will replace Allan Bell in the post - will then be appointed on the nomination of Tynwald at the sitting.
