Either Boris Johnson or Jeremy Hunt will be the next Prime Minister - who are Suffolk and Essex MPs backing in the race?

After five ballots of Tory MPs, the 1922 Committee have revealed that the two candidates to be chosen between are the former Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson and the current Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt.

Environment Secretary Michael Gove was eliminated from the final round of voting after receiving two votes less than Mr Hunt. Home Secretary Sajid Javid was knocked out of the race earlier on June 21.
