The ongoing leadership race among Conservative MPs is wide open, with no clear favorites emerging, as endorsements are scarce and public polling appears unreliable.
Candidates like Kemi Badenoch and Robert Jenrick are considered top contenders, but both have significant detractors and are struggling for the same voter pool.
With six candidates requiring 10 supportive MPs each, the competition is tight; it's estimated around 30 MPs may not publicly endorse anyone, opting for private loyalties.
Many Tory MPs are seen as careerists, aiming to support the winner, which complicates the race, especially with Boris Johnson remaining uncommitted for now.
