Penny Mordaunt has been voted out of the Tory leadership race after receiving the lowest number of votes in the final MPs' ballot, sending Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss through to the final.
The international trade minister crashed out with 105 backers to Ms Truss's 113 and Mr Sunak's 137.
Ms Mordaunt said: "'I pay tribute to anyone who puts themselves forward for such a demanding role. Politics isn’t easy. 'It can be a divisive and difficult place. We must all now work together to unify our party and focus on the job."
Around 200,000 Tory members will now vote during the next six weeks as Mr Sunak and Ms Truss campaign across the country.
The former chancellor told Sky News: "The question now for our members is who is the best person to defeat Keir Starmer and the Labour party at the next election. I believe I'm the only candidate who can do that."
And the Foreign Secretary said in a statement: "As Prime Minister I would hit the ground running from day one, unite the Party and govern in line with Conservative values."
