Conservative Party Ballot Four

The penultimate round of parliamentary MPs has now completed with the last one due within the next half an hour.

The results were:

1. Boris Johnson = 157
2. Michael Gove = 61
3. Jeremy Hunt = 59
4. Sajid Javid = 34

Just a few notable results from here as we do not have time

-Boris Johnson has now achieved over 50% of the vote
-Michael Gove has now overtaken Jeremy Hunt for the first time in the race for second place
-Sajid Javid is out, achieving less 4 MPs.

Rory Stewart's 27 MPs seemed to have spread across the board. Gove achieved the backing of 10 additional MPs and Hunt 5. 10 others seemingly went to Boris, but also surprisingly there were also two spoiled ballots this time. Four less MPs taken from Javid presumably went to Hunt or Gove to best get who they want in the final two.

Javid's votes will disperse to no single candidate so it will be all to play for for who will take on Boris in the final two.
