Battle for Conservative Leadership: Who's Running So Far?

Eight MPs are still looking for backers in their race to replace Boris Johnson as Tory leader - and Prime Minister.

Rishi Sunak is the clear favorite and has to fight another candidate in a Conservative Party member vote.

Contenders for this coveted second place include Penny Mordaunt, Liz Truss, Tom Tugendhat, Nadhim Zahawi and Kemi Badenoch. You can read more about them here.

But three of the hopefuls were eliminated before the contest even began, with the 1922 Conservative Committee setting a tough threshold for getting elected.

MPs needed 20 supporters each by 6pm on Tuesday July 12 – without themselves – before they even faced the first MP knockout vote.

Sajid Javid, Grant Shapps and Rehman Chishti - whose only support was himself - all failed to vote.

There is also a threshold of 30 votes (including their own) to advance to the first knockout round on Wednesday afternoon.
