Following the announcement that Liz Truss will resign as Prime Minister and Tory leader, the country has been speculating on who will take her place.
On October 20, Ms Truss announced that she had agreed with Sir Graham Brady, Chair of the 1922 Committee, that a leadership election will take place by the end of the week. Today, Conservative MPs will vote to decide who will become the next leader of their party.
Currently, the two main candidates with the highest amount of support from the Tories is former Chancellor Rishi Sunak and leader of the House Penny Mordaunt. It comes after Boris Johnson announced on Sunday night that he would not be taking part in the race.
