Votes will be counted over the weekend, and the winner will be announced lunchtime on Monday (5 September). The winner will then travel to Balmoral with Boris Johnson for the Queen to formally swear in the new Prime Minister.
Ms Truss and Mr Sunak faced off for the final time last night in the last hustings of the leadership contest, with Ms Truss promising if she was elected there would be no energy rationing this winter, while Sunak warned nothing could be ruled out.
