The fiercely competitive race to Number 10 saw a number of candidates drop by the wayside, as new rules mean contenders must have the backing of eight MPs.
Boris Johnson is the current frontrunner, despite cabinet ministers Amber Rudd and Penny Mordaunt backing Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt.
Mark Harper, Andrea Leadsom, and Esther McVey were eliminated in the first round of voting, Matt Hancock dropped out, Dominic Raab did not make the cut in the second round of voting by Tory MPs, while Rory Stewart was axed in the third.
Mr Johnson topped the latest ballot with 143 votes, which puts him over the magic number of 105 that places him, in effect, in the final two.
Currently in the running to be the next prime minister are:
Boris Johnson
Jeremy Hunt
Michael Gove
Sajid Javid
