The party’s annual conference is usually dominated by speeches to activists from the Conservative leader and their top team.
But under current plans, every day of this year’s conference in Birmingham will be given over to the final four candidates to succeed Mr Sunak.
After Priti Patel’s elimination, there are five candidates still in the leadership race. They will be whittled down to four by Conservative MPs in a further vote next week.
Priti Patel knocked out of Tory leadership contest.
