Technically yes, but if they can’t form a government the King can and will call an election. I think there is a very high chance they will be unable to agree on a new leader and will therefor be unable to form a government. Even if they do elect a new leader, if that leader can barely control the party that would not a functioning government, and they should call an election. At some point Tory MPs need to grow some, call an election, and except that it may mean loosing their job.
