It took almost four months to choose the next Conservative leader. For those of you who haven’t followed all the twists and turns of the race, here’s a little overview of how it unfolded.

Each candidate needed the support of at least 10 deputies to be able to participate in the vote, including a nominator and a seconder. Deputies could only nominate one candidate per round of voting.

On 29 July, the Conservative backbench 1922 Committee announced that six candidates met the requirements: Robert Jenrick, Kemi Badenoch, James Cleverly, Jenrick, Priti Patel, Mel Stride and Tom Tugendhat.

The candidates were also told they would each need to raise £200,000 for the party to make it to the final four.

After nominations closed, candidates had five and a half weeks to try to impress their fellow MPs before heading to the polls. They were narrowed down after four rounds of voting between their colleagues between September 4 and October 9 to reach the final duo of Jenrick and Badenoch.

Conservative MPs then voted between October 15 and 31 to choose the winner, who we will know shortly.
