British Prime Minister Theresa May will face a vote of no confidence in her leadership on Wednesday.

Conservative MPs will vote between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m., reports the BBC.

The challenge to May's position comes after the required 48 letters calling for a contest were delivered.

May, who became the Prime Minister shortly after the UK voted to leave the European Union in 2016, has faced criticism in her party for the Brexit plan she has negotiated.
