Boris Johnson will not return to power. Sunday, October 23, thehe former British Prime Minister has thrown in the towel in the race to succeed Liz Truss.
The duel will not take place between Boris Johnson and his former finance minister, Rishi Sunak. Hastily returned from the Caribbean on Saturday, October 22, the former British Prime Minister finally threw in the towel this Sunday. His candidacy for the 10 Downing Street was far from unanimous. Boris Johnson is challenged even in his own camp. He is also under a parliamentary investigation, in connection with the “partygate”.
Boris Johnson’s return was too risky for the Conservative Party. It is therefore Rishi Sunak who is the big favorite to succeed Liz Truss. The former finance minister has already collected the necessary 100 sponsorships. But some Britons do not forgive him for having precipitated the fall of Boris Johnson, by resigning from his post last July. Another obstacle, Rishi Sunak will also have to reckon with the candidate Penny Mordaunt, the charismatic minister responsible for relations with Parliament.
