Rishi Sunak tops first round of voting in Tory leadership contest
Former finance minister Rishi Sunak led the field of Conservative MPs bidding to become Britain’s next Prime Minister in the first ballot of Tory lawmakers on Wednesday, as the race narrowed to six with the elimination of two candidates. Mr. Sunak, an early frontrunner who quit as finance minister last week to help trigger outgoing Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s downfall, topped the contest with 88 votes, followed by former defence minister Penny Mordaunt, on 67.
