Liz Truss, First British minister, announced his resignation on Thursday 20 October. Journalist Diana Schlienger explains from London on Friday that “As of this morning, there is still no official candidate to replace Liz Truss”. “To be able to run, you need the support of at least 100 Conservative MPs, so everyone is busy behind the scenes. There is of course Rishi Sunak or even Penny Mordaunt: both had lost the last internal elections against Liz Truss”continues the journalist.
“There would also be a man well known to the British: a certain Boris Johnson, who according to some British media, would be interested in returning to business. The stakes are high for the Conservatives, because they want to avoid at all costs that organized general elections, elections they risk losing. So they have a week to agree, and above all a week to find a new Prime Minister who will succeed in bringing them together”concludes the journalist.
