Former chancellor Rishi Sunak came out on top in the latest round of voting by Conservative MPs to decide on the party's next leader and the UK's next prime minister, followed by bookmaker favourite Penny Mordaunt.
Mr Sunak won the support of 101 Tory MPs, followed by Ms Mordaunt on 83 votes, Liz Truss on 64, Kemi Badenoch on 49, Tom Tugendhat on 32.
Attorney General Suella Braverman was eliminated with 27 votes.
UK Foreign Secretary Liz Truss has gained backing from former Brexit negotiator David Frost and Ms Braverman.
The second round was being billed as "pivotal", but in the end it did not produce any surprises.
The lowest ranking candidate from the first round - Ms Braverman - was the one eliminated this time after her vote went down from 32 to 27.
The vote gain among frontrunners Rishi Sunak (+13), Trade Minister Penny Mordaunt (+16) and Foreign Secretary Liz Truss (+14) showed very similar numbers to the first round, when the new Chancellor of the Exchequer Nadhim Zahawi and Jeremy Hunt were eliminated.
Kemi Badenoch increased her vote by 9 to 49 while Tom Tugendhat lost votes, going down from 37 to 32.
The lowest ranking candidate will be eliminated in each round until two contenders are left for a vote by party members.

Ms Braverman declined to say who she would back in the Tory leadership contest after she was eliminated from the race - but chose to criticise Ms Mordaunt.
The Attorney General told Sky News: "I'm going to have to disappoint you, I'm not going to give an answer right now. I'm considering all of the options."
She indicated she would back the candidate who will "stop illegal migration across the Channel", and deliver "Brexit opportunities", a "tough line on identity politics" and tax cuts.
Asked about criticisms of Ms Mordaunt, Ms Braverman said: "Penny is a very good politician, I disagree with Penny on some key issues, in relation to one specific matter, i.e. the maternity Bill that was passed for my benefit when I had my baby last year.
"I do have to say that Hansard and the record shows that Penny Mordaunt as the Bill minister, the minister responsible for passing that legislation, did oppose and did resist the inclusion of the word woman and the word mother and did only concede after unsustainable pressure from the House of Lords.
"I was quite disappointed by the way in which it was handled and the responsible minister I'm afraid didn't stand up for women and didn't actually reflect the views of a lot of our party on wanting women to be authentically represented on the face of the Bill and in legislation."
