British Conservative MPs have cast their votes in the first round of their leadership race.
Candidates needed 30 votes to secure their place in the next round, with Nadhim Zahawi and Jeremy Hunt both dropping out of the race.
Former Chancellor Rishi Sunak is the frontrunner, with 88 votes, followed by Penny Mordaunt on 67.
King's College London politics expert Rod Dacombe told Tim Dower she's run an interesting campaign.
He says Mordaunt is not pushing too much against Boris Johnson's legacy, but equally not tapping too much to the right with her policies.
