Mon, 05 Sep 2016

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.
