Rishi Sunak has become the first Tory leadership contender to reach the 100-nomination threshold to make it to the next stage of the race, a campaign source has said.
Though he has not formally declared, the former chancellor’s supporters said on Friday night he had received nominations from 100 Tory MPs way ahead of Monday’s deadline.
Boris Johnson, who is also yet to officially throw his hat in the ring, is lagging behind with nominations but has told allies he is “up for it” and would fly back from his holiday in the Dominican Republic to enter the race.
Penny Mordaunt became the first to confirm her candidacy on Friday and around 25 MPs have voiced their support for the Commons Leader.
