UK's Labour Party has said it will select a new leader in mid-September, ahead of the party conference, with Andy Burnham the latest to say he will stand.
The shadow health secretary announced his bid to succeed Ed Miliband after the ruling National Executive Committee set out the timetable for the election.
Shadow business secretary Chuka Umunna and shadow care minister Liz Kendall have already declared an interest.
Acting leader Harriet Harman pledged an "open and honest" debate on the future.
"Our challenge now is to use this time to listen and learn, to elect a new leader and deputy leader who will rebuild the Labour Party in order to take the fight to this Tory government and to stand up for Britain."
'Centre ground'
Mr Miliband resigned last week after the party was left with just 232 seats, having sustained heavy losses at the hands of the SNP and failing to make ground in England. The Conservatives defied the opinion polls to win an overall majority.
Yvette Cooper, Tristram Hunt and Mary Creagh are also seen as potential successors.
However, work and pensions spokeswoman Rachel Reeves has ruled herself out, telling the BBC the party needed to be in the centre ground of British politics to win the next election.
