Without surprises, the 47-year-old Secretary of State won 57 percent of the vote, while her rival, former Finance Minister Rishi Sunak, won 43 percent, according to the results announced by Graham Brady, who is responsible for organizing the internal ballot following Johnson's resignation in early July.
