Mel Stride has become the fourth Conservative MP to enter the race to become the party’s next leader.<\/p>\n

The former work and pensions secretary – who now holds the shadow role – hinted his candidacy to Sky News<\/a><\/strong> earlier this week, saying there was a “reasonable chance” he would run.<\/p>\n

But he has now officially joined ex-home secretary James Cleverly, former security minister Tom Tugendhat, and the last immigration minister Robert Jenrick in the contest to replace Rishi Sunak.<\/p>\n

Nominees must have 10 backers to submit their papers to enter the race.<\/p>\n
