Robert Jenrick leads the Tory leadership race with £250,000 raised by the end of August, significantly surpassing his rivals in obtaining campaign funds.
Candidates must secure at least £50,000 to stay in the Tory leadership race, with further financial commitments of £150,000 required for the final two.
Others lag behind Jenrick's impressive fundraising, with Badenoch at £200,000 and Cleverly, Tugendhat, and Stride significantly trailing, highlighting funding disparities.
The Conservative party emphasizes fundraising capabilities, following financial constraints after prior elections, influencing candidates’ strategies as they prepare for elimination based on MP support.
