One of the five candidates vying to be Britain’s next Prime Minister will be eliminated from the race at 8pm this evening.
Today’s vote follows a bad tempered debate last night, with Sunak being targeted by the other contenders, including foreign secretaryThe final two contenders will be known by Wednesday evening, after further votes whittle down the field tomorrow and Wednesday, before 180,000 or so Tory members select the UK’s next leader following a series of hustings over the summer.
Sunak, who topped both the first two ballots, was seen to have won the debate by ordinary voters polled by Opinium, but Badenoch – who came last in that poll – was declared the winner by Tory members polled by Conservative Home.Truss and Badenoch will be hoping to pick up votes from Attorney General Suella Braverman, who endorsed the former after being eliminated in the last round.
Sunak is seen as the front-runner to make the final two, with Mordaunt likely to square off with either Badenoch or Truss to face the former Chancellor.
