Voting has closed, the counting has begun, and we are just one day away from finding out who the UK’s next Prime Minister will be.
Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak were the final two Conservative Party MPs left in the race for the top spot after seeing out Penny Mordaunt in the fifth round of ballots.
The vote comes after Boris Johnson announced his resignation as Prime Minister following a brutal rebellion from his own party.
The PM confirmed he will make way in a statement outside Downing Street but stopped short of resigning with immediate effect, saying he would stay on as caretaker prime minister until a new Conservative leader is chosen.
Tomorrow, Mr Johnson will be stepping down and a new Prime Minister will take his place, likely spending much of the day deciding who will sit in their cabinet.
The leader has been voted by other members of the Conservative Party – but just how many members does the party have?
