The race is underway to replace Liz Truss as Tory party leader and Prime Minister.
Nominations opened on Thursday evening (October 20) and hopeful MPs have until 2pm on Monday (October 24) to put themselves forward. However, candidates will need to have received 'at least 100' nominations from colleagues to run for the leadership, meaning there will be a maximum of three contenders.
Tory MPs have been declaring their support for either Rishi Sunak, Penny Mourdant or former PM Boris Johnson to run the country throughout the day. However Ms Mourdant is the only MP who has officially declared her intention to stand for election so far.
