Who's backing who? The list of Tory MPs supporting Boris, Mordaunt or Sunak
MPs are starting to pick their candidate for leader with each hoping to pass the 100 vote threshold in the fast-tracked leadership race.
Rishi Sunak is in the lead with Penny Mordaunt coming third. Both challenged Liz Truss for the leadership, culminating in a torrid time in No10 before eventually quitting in the shortest-ever term in Downing Street.Boris builds backing for shock comeback: Ex-PM 'to get backing from 100 Tory MPs' as he flies back to rally endorsements
If only one candidate gets 100 votes, they will become leader after an MPs' vote on Monday. If there are three - the maximum possible under these rules - then an indicative vote will be held later that day. Members, who ultimately picked Ms Truss over Mr Sunak, could get a say in an online vote if neither of the final two candidates drops out.
Sir Graham Brady, who leads the 1922 Committee of backbench Tory MPs, said a leader should be in place October 31.
