A new leader will be elected from within the successful candidates, by the successful candidates.
This situation happened in Australia at the last Federal election when the Prime Minister lost his seat. Something similar happened in the UK in 2007: Prime Minister Tony Blair stepped down and quit British politics; the government (that is, the Labour Party) elected Gordon Brown as its new leader, so he automatically became Prime Minister too.

How do general elections work in the UK?
The UK is divided into about 650 constituencies. In each constituency people vote for an MP from a number of candidates. Most candidates represent a political party but a few are 'independents'. On the day of the election people vote and the candidate that receives the most votes from a constituency is made that constituency's MP. All MPs have a right to go to the House of Commons in Westminster Palace. The Prime minister is the leader of the party with the most MPs in the House of Commons.
