The final four for Monday evening's Tiverton and Honiton final are Caroline Dineage, Vicky Ford, John Glen and Neil Parish MEP.
The four have progressed from a shortlist that also included Pam Chesters, Mark Fox, Fiona Kemp, Sara Randall-Johnson and Jason Steen.
Early frontrunner Edward Heathcoat-Amory did not make it to the final stages after giving what has been described to ConservativeHome as a "stumbling" and "nervous" performance.
Last November Angela Browning announced her decision to stand down at the next election - her successor will inherit a projected Conservative majority of 9,193.
