Unless the 1922 Committee change the rule (which they can do).

Under party rules, a leader who wins a confidence vote is safe from such a challenge for 12 months. However, the rules can easily be changed, and it does not bring safety. May won her confidence vote but was forced soon afterwards to announce a timetable for her departure, under the threat of a rule change and new vote. May gained the support of just under two-thirds of her MPs. A survivable figure for Johnson would depend on many factors, but a victory by that margin or less would make his prospects very uncertain.
