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.

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

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

An estimated 160,000 members will vote and the winner of the final two candidates will become the Tory leader.

They will move into Number 10 Downing Street and take over from Boris Johnson on September 5th as prime minister of the United Kingdom.
