James Cleverly has propelled himself into the lead with a surprising 39 votes, exceeding expectations, partly due to his impactful conference speech and strategic campaigning.
The competition is now a tussle between Kemi Badenoch and Robert Jenrick for the second spot, with Cleverly's strong performance making him a near-certain finalist.
This Conservative leadership race may not be as significant as a presidential election, but it is still considered a crunch moment for the party's future.
With 121 votes available, Cleverly's 39 puts him close to securing a final spot. The dynamics of this voting process create tension and intrigue.
