Jeremy Hunt and Nadhim Zahawi have crashed out of the Conservative leadership race, leaving six candidates in contention to become the next prime minister.
Rishi Sunak, the former chancellor, commanded the support of the most Tory MPs, receiving 88 votes, with Penny Mordaunt - who earlier polling showed has become a favourite among grassroots activists - taking second on 67.
Liz Truss, the Foreign Secretary, was in third with 50 backers. Kemi Badenoch, Tom Tugendhat and Suella Braverman also remain in the race.
