Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss became the last two candidates standing on Wednesday after Penny Mordaunt was eliminated from the race to replace Boris Johnson as the UK’s prime minister.

In a nail-biting final parliamentary vote, Sunak managed to stay on top with 137 votes, gaining 19 more supporters after Kemi Badenoch was eliminated on Tuesday.
