The field is expected to be narrowed to two by the end of next week, and then around 160,000 Tory members decide which candidate they want to become the next party leader and prime minister.

The result will be announced on 5 September.

The remaining six hopefuls are now scrambling for support from the MPs who backed Hunt and Zahawi.
