Liz Truss holds lead over Rishi Sunak in UK PM race

After a gruelling nationwide tour, a dozen hustings and three televised debates, Liz Truss appears poised to take over as the UK's next prime minister heading into the close of voting by Conservative party members on Friday.

The result of the summer-long campaign pitting the foreign secretary against former chancellor Rishi Sunak will be announced on Monday, before Prime Minister Boris Johnson formally tenders his resignation to Queen Elizabeth II the next day.

The Tory members have a chance to cast their votes until 5:00 pm,(1600 GMT) on September 2. Postal and online voting by the estimated 200,000 Tory members began in early August, a month after Johnson announced his resignation.

On September 5, the next leader of the conservative party will be announced by the Queen of England in Scotland.
