Sir Graham Brady, chairman of the Conservative Party's 1922 Committee, which organises leadership contests, announces the names of the eight Conservative leadership contenders.


They are Kemi Badenoch, Suella Braverman, Jeremy Hunt, Penny Mordaunt, Rishi Sunak, Liz Truss, Tom Tugendhat and Nadhim Zahawi.


Each has the backing of at least 20 fellow MPs.


Former Health Secretary Sajid Javid and Rehman Chishti MP withdrew from the contest just minutes before the deadline.


The first ballot and its result happen on Wednesday.
