<p>Michael Gove was eliminated from the race by just two votes as Conservative MPs balked at the possibility of a bitter contest due to the “personal psychodrama” involving the Environment Secretary and his rival Mr Johnson.</p>
<p><!--Ads3--></p>
<p>Allies of Mr Hunt had urged MPs to choose the Foreign Secretary to help keep the party together rather than risk a ferocious row between Mr Johnson and Mr Gove.</p>
<p>160 Votes secured by Boris Johnson in the final ballot for Tory MPs</p>
<p>“Boris and Michael are great candidates but we have seen their personal psychodrama before,” a source said.</p>
<p>There has also been widespread speculation at Westminster that Mr Johnson’s camp would attempt to engineer a way to prevent Mr Gove making the final pair – although the former foreign secretary denied being involved in any “dark arts”.</p>
<p><!--Ads5--></p>
<p>In the fifth and final round of voting by MPs to whittle the field down to two, Mr Johnson again finished first, with 160 votes.</p>
<p>Mr Hunt regained second place, having lost it to Mr Gove in the fourth round of voting.</p>
