And the total number of votes given to each candidate was as follows.

Jeremy Hunt, 46, 46, 666, Boris Johnson, 92,153, and therefore I give notice that Boris Johnson is elected as the leader of the

Conservative and Unionist Party.

Hello and welcome to the Red Box Politics Podcast and The Times I'm Matt

Surely and this is your new Prime Minister. I know I know Sam Wagg was already

pointed out that deliver your night and defeat was not the perfect acronym

for an election campaign since unfortunately it spells dud but they forgot the

final e my friends e for E. for E.

And I say to all the doubters, dude,

we are going to energize the country.

We're going to get Brexit done on October 31st.

We're going to take advantage of all the opportunities that it will bring in a new spirit of can-do.

And we are once again going to believe in ourselves and what we can achieve.

And like some slumbering giant, we are going to rise and ping off the guy ropes of self-doubt and

negativity. With better education, better infrastructure, more police, fantastic, full

fibre broadband sprouting in every household. we are going to unite this amazing country

and we are going to take it forward. I thank you all very much for the

incredible honor that you have just done me. I will work flat out from now on with my team that I will build, I hope in the next

few days, to repay your confidence, but in the meantime the campaign is over and the work begins.

Thank you all very much. So there we have it.

Boris Johnson, the new Prime Minister applauded off the stage after a slightly peculiar speech.

66% of the vote.
