As the Tory leadership contest reaches its final stretch, Professor Sir John Curtice joins Rachel Johnson to analyse James Cleverly's shock elimination and the remaining candidates standing.
James Cleverly was eliminated in a shock vote on Wednesday, which left Kemi Badenoch and Robert Jenrick as the final two.
Mr Cleverly received the fewest votes, despite storming into the lead on Tuesday.
Conservative Party members now have a few weeks to decide on their preferred candidate, with the leadership results to be announced on November 2.
Ms Badenoch and Mr Jenrick are both seen as candidates favoured by the right of the Conservative Party, while Mr Cleverly was thought of as a more centre-ground Tory.
The latest result has upset many predictions in Westminster and beyond, as Mr Cleverly was seen as the bookmakers' favourite to win the contest after Tuesday's round of voting.
