Conservative MPs have finished voting in the first ballot of the Tory leadership contest.

At present, there are eight candidates bidding to take over from Boris Johnson: Rishi Sunak, Penny Mordaunt, Liz Truss, Nadhim Zahawi, Jeremy Hunt, Suella Braverman, Tom Tugendhat and Kemi Badenoch.

Candidates need a minimum of 30 votes to make it to the next round.

If all eight meet this threshold, the candidate with the lowest number of votes will be removed from the race.
