Rishi Sunak and Penny Mordaunt have maintained their places at the front of the Tory leadership race after Tom Tugendhat was eliminated in the third round of voting on Monday night.
Foreign Secretary Liz Truss is now trailing in third place and will scramble to gain switchers from fourth placed Kemi Badenoch in the next round of voting.
Former chancellor Rishi Sunak maintained his dominant position with 115 votes, virtually guaranteeing his place in the membership vote, and ahead of Mordaunt in second place on 82 votes.
