Oris Johnson’s leadership has been upset by growing calls from backbench MPs for him to step down.
The prime minister will face a vote of confidence if 54 Tory MPs write to Sir Graham Brady, chairman of the 1922 committee, demanding it be held.
If that threshold is reached, Tory MPs will vote on whether the Prime Minister should remain in office.
Half of Tory MPs are expected to vote against the Prime Minister for him to face a leadership race.
Eighteen Tory MPs have confirmed writing to Sir Graham so far, while 20 have publicly questioned Mr Johnson’s leadership.
