Braverman’s vote decreased from 32 to 27 since yesterday’s vote. Tom Tugendhat also lost votes which raised questions about whether he should withdraw.
Tugendhat however, confirmed the claim via Twitter, saying:
“The campaign for #ACleanStart continues. I am grateful to all my friends, colleagues, and coworkers who have pledged their support. Our politics needs to be based on trust. I will be putting my vision for Britain forward to the public at the TV debates next week.”
Yesterday’s elimination of Nadhim Zahawi and Jeremy Hunt was due to a lack of the required 30 votes. However, this round’s requirements stipulate that the candidate with fewer votes than the other two will be eliminated.
356 of 358 MEPs took part in this vote.
