The field of Tory leadership challengers has been whittled down to six after three candidates were ousted at the first ballot of MPs on Thursday and Matt Hancock opted to withdraw on Friday.
Those still standing now have three days in which to persuade more of their Conservative colleagues to back their bids before the second round of voting takes place on Tuesday.
At this point the race is entirely about momentum. Boris Johnson has cemented his status as the prohibitive favourite after he secured 114 votes - enough to effectively guarantee he is one of the final two candidates.
But for the remaining five candidates, it is all still to play for.
Four Tory leadership challengers are now out of the race for Number 10. Esther McVey, Andrea Leadsom and Mark Harper were eliminated in the first round of voting while Matt Hancock has chosen to withdraw from the race
What happens next Tuesday?
Tory MPs will vote for the second time in what is likely to be a make or break moment in the race to succeed Theresa May.
There will be six candidates to choose from but only Mr Johnson will have any certainty about making it to the next stage.
Anyone not named Mr Johnson will now have the same goal: To finish in second place and make it onto the final ballot paper alongside Mr Johnson.
Jeremy Hunt came second in Thursday's vote with the support of 43 of his colleagues.
But none of the other remaining candidates are too far behind and all of them will be hopeful of hoovering up at least some of the MPs who backed the four candidates who are no longer in the race.
They will need at least 33 votes to progress to the third vote but if all of the six candidates manage to get past that threshold, whoever has the fewest votes will be eliminated.
