Mr Cameron resigned after finishing on the losing side in the UK’s EU referendum, in which there was a vote for the UK to leave.

There had originally been five contenders to succeed Mr Cameron, with MPs voting in two rounds to get that number down to two.

The contest now moves to its final stage with the Conservative Party’s 150,000-strong membership deciding between Mrs May, a Remain campaigner with a long track record in government, and Mrs Leadsom, a leading light of the Brexit campaign who has stressed her City and business background.

Speaking after the results were announced, Mrs May said she had secured support from all wings of the Conservative Party and pledged to bring the Tories together.

Conservative MP Tim Loughton, Mrs Leadsom’s campaign manager, said she would bring a "huge and fresh skills base" to Downing Street if elected.

He played down her lack of cabinet experience, saying she would have "no problem stepping up to the job" having had a long career outside politics, adding: "She has done things outside of this place on so many different levels."

Polling expert Professor John Curtice, of Strathclyde University, said the electorate for the contest represented a "very distinctive slice of Britain".

They would be mostly over 50, disproportionately male, and "overwhelmingly middle class", he said.

He predicted the Brexit debate would "play a role" in the contest, but not a defining one. About two thirds of Tory members voted to leave, but a higher proportion saw a candidate’s leadership credentials and vision for Britain as the most important factor, he added.

Mrs Leadsom’s departmental boss, Energy Secretary Amber Rudd, is backing Mrs May and took aim at her junior ministerial colleague’s lack of government experience.

She said: "The fact that she hasn’t had experience at the Cabinet table, hasn’t had much experience even as a junior minister - let’s face it she’s had just two years - I do think is a problem at this stage."

But one of Mrs Leadsom’s high-profile backers, former worker and pensions secretary Iain Duncan Smith, said she would "develop" over the coming weeks and get "better and better and better".

Mrs Leadsom is also supported by former London mayor and one-time leadership favourite Boris Johnson, who said she would replace the "absurd gloom in some quarters with a positive confident and optimistic approach".
