Conservative leadership contenders Elizabeth Truss and Rishi Sunak will be in Norwich next week for the penultimate event of a series of hustings for Tory party members.

The South West Norfolk MP and the ex-chancellor are vying to succeed Boris Johnson as the next Conservative party leader - which will see one of them become the country's new prime minister.

At a series of 12 hustings across the country, they have been trying to convince party members they deserve their vote.

The Norwich hustings, which will be held on Thursday, August 25 is the 11th of the events, with only a date in London following the pair's visit to the city.

Open only to Conservative party members and their guests, the event - for which there is a £5 administration charge for tickets - has sold out.

The venue where the hustings, which will start at 7pm, will be held has yet to be made public.

Conservative party members have until Friday, September 2 to return their ballots stating whether they want Ms Truss or Mr Sunak to be the next leader of their party.

The winner will be announced on Monday, September 5.
