Conservative Party MPs will vote for a fourth time on Tuesday in the contest to elect Johnson’s successor as party leader and UK prime minister, after the latest ballot left Rishi Sunak looking almost certain to make the top two. He secured 115 votes – up 14 on last week and just five short of the 120 he needs to clinch it.
After the result, Sunak late on Monday pledged to crack down on crime if he wins the leadership, including plans to introduce harsher sentences for criminals who dodge court. The foreign secretary has struggled to impress in televised debates, with some Tory MPs on the right of the party preferring Badenoch.
That could prove crucial – if he chooses to support Sunak it would likely secure the former chancellor’s spot in the top two, but if he decides to back his fellow outsider in the race, Badenoch, it could propel her into third or second place, bumping Truss from the contest.“People are ready for a clean start and our party must deliver on it and put trust back into politics,” Tugendhat said in a statement after his elimination.
