The race to lead the Conservative Party has unexpectedly narrowed to two right-wing candidates, Kemi Badenoch and Robert Jenrick, after four knockout rounds.
This unexpected choice of right-wing candidates has provoked gasps, especially as James Cleverly, a centrist frontrunner, was eliminated despite a strong performance.
The party faces a daunting challenge ahead, needing to rebuild after suffering its worst electoral defeat, losing voters to Labour and other parties.
The new leader will be chosen in weeks from party members who are predominantly older and wealthier, which contrasts starkly with the broader UK electorate.
