James Cleverly is emerging as the favourite in the Tory leadership race, but a large portion of the public remains unsure about who they want to see leading the party.

A new Techne poll revealed that 13 per cent of respondents believe Cleverly would make the best prime minister, putting him just ahead of Robert Jenrick, with 12 per cent. Kemi Badenoch followed with 10 per cent support, while Tom Tugendhat trailed behind with 6 per cent.

The poll was conducted just ahead of the Conservative Party’s annual conference in Birmingham, where leadership hopefuls will showcase their vision for the party through hustings, Q&A sessions, and networking events.

Now we’re asking you: Who do you want to see as the next leader of the Tory party? What direction should the Conservatives take to regain the support of voters? Do you think they can win them back?

Share your thoughts by adding them in the comments — we’ll highlight the most insightful ones as they come in.
