The second round of voting takes place this afternoon (July 14) in the race to be the new leader of the Conservative Party – and the next Prime Minister. A result is expected around 3pm, with six candidates still in the hunt.
Whoever receives the least votes will be eliminated. There will then be other rounds of voting until just two candidates are left – then the party members will decide which of the two they want as leader.
Conservative MPs will today choose between the following: Liz Truss, Tom Tugendhat, Kemi Badenoch, Suella Braverman, Rishi Sunak and Penny Mordaunt. Sunak received the most votes in the first round, securing 88, with Mordaunt second on 67.
