Who should be the next prime minister?
A winner will be picked in a postal ballot of around 160,000 Conservative Party members over summer. Party bosses have said they plan to announce the result on 5 September.
On BBC Breakfast, Mr Zahawi was asked if he regretted his close association with Boris Johnson. He praised the prime minister for the coronavirus vaccine rollout and delivering Brexit before saying he would bring the Tory Party together and "heal those wounds".he wanted to "unite rather than further fracture the right".
Vice-chair of the committee, Nusrat Ghani, told Radio 4's Today this wasn't a change of rules but a "tweak" which she said was done every time. He will say that, under his leadership, reducing the tax burden would be a "question of 'when', not 'if'". But unsurprisingly, she isn't the only person making the argument she is best placed to take on Mr Sunak.Most believe they will meet the 20 threshold to get onto tomorrow's ballot. We'll find out for sure later.
