Keir Starmer has been heavily backed to become Labour's next leader by local constituencies.
Constituency Labour parties (CLP's) up and down the country have been voting for who they would like to see as their next leader and deputy leader.
Current Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn announced on general election night that he would not lead the party in another election after suffering a massive defeat to Boris Johnson's Conservatives.
Since then, CLP's, which are made up of local Labour members, have been nominating their preferred next leader and deputy leader.
This is how your local CLP voted:
Watford
Leader: Keir Starmer. Deputy leader: Rosena Allin-Khan
Hertsmere
Leader: Keir Starmer. Deputy leader: Angela Rayner
St Albans
Leader: Keir Starmer. Deputy leader: Angela Rayner
South West Hertfordshire
Leader: Rebecca Long-Bailey. Deputy leader: Angela Rayner
Hemel Hempstead
Leader: Keir Starmer. Deputy leader: Angela Rayner
In total, Keir Starmer has received 374 nominations from CLP's, putting him ahead of Rebecca Long-Bailey (164) and Lisa Nandy (72).
To qualify, candidates needed support from three groups including union and affiliate groups, representing 5 per cent of the membership, or 33 constituency Labour parties (CLPs).
Angela Rayner has been heavily supported with 365 nominations.
With three candidates left in the race to become the next leader, party members are due to start voting on February 24 - with the leader announced on April 4.
