Tory leadership: Matt Hancock struggles to decide between supporting Johnson or Gove (Image: GETTY)
The Health Secretary, who withdrew from the race yesterday, is likely to endorse the frontrunner or his rival, The Sun reported. Mr Hancock is currently in talks with the six remaining candidates before making his final choice next week, sources said. His withdrawal from the race comes after the first vote which showed Mr Johnson leap ahead of others with 114 votes.
Mr Hancock took to Twitter last night to thank people for their support.
He said: “A massive thank you for all the lovely messages of support today from people all over the country.
“I will never stop fighting for the values I believe in and I won't let you down.”
Mr Hancock voted to Remain in the EU but has since stressed the need to get on with Brexit.
