The two men battling it out to become the next prime minister will be heading to Gloucestershire for one of their final husting events before the crunch Conservative Party leadership election.

Former foreign secretary Boris Johnson and the current holder of the post, Jeremy Hunt look set to face questions from Gloucestershire Conservative Party members on Friday, July 12.

Although yet to be confirmed by the Conservative Party, July 12 would be an interesting date as it comes at the end of the week when most of the party's members receive their postal ballots.

Gloucestershire is something of a Conservative Party stronghold with five of the county's six parliamentary constituencies returning Tory MPs.

Gloucester MP Richard Graham has supported Jeremy Hunt since the outset of the leadership battle, citing the former Health Secretary's record as a businessman as the reason for his backing.

The member for Tewkesbury Laurence Robertson has backed Boris Johnson since the first round of voting.

It is unclear who the other three MPs have thrown their weight behind.

Cheltenham MP Alex Chalk was reported to have backed current Health Secretary Matt Hancock - for whom he works as a parliamentary private secretary - but he was knocked out in the early stages.

Mr Chalk, has since not revealed who he voted for in the subsequent rounds, or who he is backing in  the final run-off.

Mark Harper, MP for the Forest of Dean, initially ran in the election but was knocked out in the early rounds and has yet to publicly state who he is backing.

Cotswold MP Sir Geoffrey Clifton-Brown is a high-ranking member of the Conservative 1922 Committee who are running the election, so is unable to commit.

The election will be concluded on July 22 with the candidate who receives the most votes of the 160,000 registered members taking over from Theresa May in 10 Downing Street.

According to The Sun newspaper, the result of the election will be declared on July 23 with the new PM taking office on July 24.

As you can see from the picture above, both Boris Johnson and Jeremy Hunt get the Punchline.
