Rishi Sunak tops first round of voting in Tory leadership contest

The Hindu  

Former finance minister Rishi Sunak led the field of Conservative MPs bidding to become Britain’s next Prime Minister in the first ballot of Tory lawmakers on Wednesday, as the race narrowed to six with the elimination of two candidates. Mr. Sunak, an early frontrunner who quit as finance minister last week to help trigger outgoing Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s downfall, topped the contest with 88 votes, followed by former defence minister Penny Mordaunt, on 67. ‘Head held high’ Mr. Johnson was forced last week to announce his resignation after a wave of ministerial resignations including by then finance minister Sunak. “I will be leaving soon with my head held high,” Mr. Johnson said at his penultimate session of Prime Minister’s Questions in the House of Commons, following the spectacular collapse in cabinet support last week. But Mr. Johnson suggested the new leader could be elected “by acclamation” before next week, if the last two candidates agree a deal between them.
