Kemi Badenoch is ousted as the Tories cast their second-last round of votes to replace Boris Johnson as the UK prime minister

Rishi Sunak emerged once again as the Tory parliamentary party favourite as the voting rounds near and end as Conservatives replace Boris Johnson.

Kemi Badenoch – a wildcard entrant who was a relative unknown outside of Westminster circles, was eliminated.

I’m grateful to my colleagues and the party members who have supported me.

This campaign began less than two weeks ago. What we’ve achieved demonstrates the level of support for our vision of change for our country and for the Conservative Party.

Thank you. pic.twitter.com/2hnk3nyynY

This leaves Rishi Sunak, Liz Truss and Penny Mordaunt remaining.

There is only one more party vote to take place, which will see one of the remaining three contestants being ousted.

PENNY MORDAUNT, WHO WAS THE UK’S FIRST FEMALE DEFENCE SECRETARY IN 2019

After that, the final two will face a postal ballot of the entire UK Conservative membership.
