Ten government ministers in Australia have offered to resign following a failed bid to oust Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull as party leader.
Turnbull narrowly survived a vote against a senior government colleague but is now likely to face a second leadership challenge.
He accepted the resignation of only two ministers including his challenger, Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton.
The division has thrown Australian politics into a state of upheaval.
Turnbull had called the first vote himself in an attempt to end uncertainty around his leadership, but overcame Dutton by just 13 votes.
He may face a second vote as early as Friday.
