How the UK elections work
Only party members are allowed to choose a leader and by default the country's next prime minister. The ballots were sent out from 1 to 5 August.
Former Finance Minister Rishi Sunak and Foreign Minister Lizz Truss compete for the premiership.
Media writes that Truss is the “clear favorite” and has great support among party members throughout the Kingdom. Sunak was more supported by Conservative MPs.
