10 nominations to replace Theresa May

There were 10 nominations to replace Theresa May as prime minister, down from 13 after Kit Malthouse, James Cleverly and Sam Gyimah dropped out.

But from former foreign secretary Boris Johnson and his Vote Leave accomplice Michael Gove, to the ex-Commons leader Andrea Leadsom and arch-Brexiteer Esther McVey, there is still plenty of competition.

These are the 10 valid nominations.

  1. Michael Gove
  2. Matthew Hancock
  3. Mark Harper
  4. Jeremy Hunt
  5. Sajid Javid
  6. Boris Johnson
  7. Andrea Leadsom
  8. Esther McVey
  9. Dominic Raab
  10. Rory Stewart

The official 1922 Committee hustings will be tomorrow and on Wednesday, and the first ballot will be held on Thursday morning.

The result will be announced at around 1pm on Thurday.
