Conservative leadership race latest: Tom Tugendhat eliminated in third round while Sunak increases vote

Liz Truss ​​Rishi Sunak

Tom Tugenhadt’s bid to be the next Prime Minister has come to an end after he secured the fewest votes in the latest vote in the Tory leadership contest.

He secured 31 votes from Conservative MPs meaning he was knocked out meaning just four contenders remain.

Rishi Sunak received 115 votes, Penny Mordaunt received 82 votes, Liz Truss received 71 votes while Kemi Badenoch received 58 votes.

MPs cast their votes in the third round of the contest, which will decide who will be the next PM, between 5pm and 7pm on Monday with the result announced at 8pm.

It comes after the final Tory leadership TV debate was cancelled earlier after the frontrunners, Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss, refused to take part.

The five remaining candidates then were involved in series of bad-tempered exchanges in the latest TV debate – staged by ITV – on Sunday evening.
