Theresa May and Andrea Leadsom to face off for UK Tory Party leadership

British interior minister Theresa May and eurosceptic rival Andrea Leadsom emerged as the two candidates who will battle to become Britain’s next prime minister and lead the country out of the EU.

May won 199 votes and Leadsom 84 in a second ballot of politicians of the governing Conservative party.

Justice secretary Michael Gove took just 46 votes and was eliminated from the race.
