Shadow home secretary James Cleverly tried to stop MPs trying to manipulate vote in his favour.

His team spent hours contacting MPs urging them to back their preferred candidate.

Cleverly eventually lost support in the last ballot of Tory MPs.

Kemi Badenoch and Robert Jenrick now face a final vote among party members.

Lord Goodman of Wycombe warns of dangerous precedents for the party of such a split.

Members have until the end of the month to cast their vote online.

Polls suggest Badenoch is most popular among members, but the contest is impossible to call.

Last vote of members in 2022 , when they chose Liz Truss over Sunak, about 140,000 votes were cast.
