Down to five
Matt Hancock withdrew and Dominic Raab got eliminated on the 2nd ballot. The results were:
- Boris Johnson 126, 40%
- Jeremy Hunt 46, 15%
- Michael Gove 41, 13%
- Rory Stewart 37, 12%
- Sajid Javid 33, 11%
- Dominic Raab 30, 9.6%
The votes gained from the first round are:
- Rory Stewart +18
- Boris Johnson +12
- Sajid Javid +10
- Michael Gove +4
- Jeremy Hunt +3
- Dominic Raab +3
So Stewart has the largest momentum.
Each day they hold another ballot with the lowest polling candidate being eliminated. It is going to be fascinating to see who makes the final two with Boris, that goes to the membership vote. It could be any of the four remaining.
