The British Prime Minister Liz Truss announced her resignation on Thursday local time. She has only been in power for six weeks and 44 days. A few hours after Leeds Tras dramatically resigned from his position as prime minister for only six weeks, a quick race to find the next Conservative leader and prime minister began.
UK Dayshu Time Thursday at 13:35 pm, After several days of turmoil, chaos and rebellion, Leeds Trass made a brief resignation statement under the gray sky outside 10 Downing Street, where she stood alone, only her husband Hugh O'Leary. She told the waiting crowd of cameramen and reporters that she could not fulfill her mission when she was elected and would resign.
In this way, she will become the shortest-term Prime Minister in British history.
The opposition immediately insisted that it was time to hold a general election to decide who should become the next prime minister. Sir Kiel Starmer, the leader of Labour Party , said that Labour Party is ready to participate in the election and has prepared a campaign declaration. Meanwhile, Sir Ed David, the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party, Sir Ed David, the chief minister of Scotland, Nikola Sturgeon, and Wales, , Mark Druckford, both demanded voters to make decisions.
However, according to the law, the next general election will not be held until at least 2024. At present, it seems that this date is unlikely to be advanced. Tras, 47, also said she will remain until her successor is selected. The successor will take over a party that has been in power for 12 years, has been in turmoil at home and abroad, and is irritable.
It is reported that the new candidate needs to receive support from 100 lawmakers by Monday, and her successor may be announced at the latest on Friday. New Chancellor of the Exchequer Jeremy Hunter has ruled out his own candidacy, but Rich Sunak and Penny Modant are considered contenders. Boris JohnsonHotel3 sources around have neither confirmed nor denied that he will run again, and some of the former prime minister's biggest political supporters are urging him to make a comeback. Conservative source told BBC News that Commerce Secretary Jacob Rees-Mog has been encouraging MP colleagues to nominate Johnson .

"Daily Telegraph" quoted a Johnson ally as saying that Johnson might throw an "olive branch" to his former Chancellor Rich Sunakk. Previously, Rich Sunak's resignation led to Johnson's resignation.
But others are not convinced of it. Conservative MP John Barron said it was impossible to serve in the new Johnson administration and he suggested he choose independence. Johnson, who was on a vacation in the Caribbean , was forced to resign as Conservative leader in July due to a series of scandals.
BBC political journalist Ione Wells said some senior Conservatives said they would consider resigning and triggering a by-election if Johnson is re-elected. However, she said Cabinet Secretary Clark Smith insisted that the former prime minister was a proven winner and he could restore the fate of his party.
Clark Smith said, "We are looking for someone who has authorized among all voters and members, he is a winner. He has won a historic 80 seat majority. We need someone who can unite the party and let us win the public again, a person who can become the winner, and Boris Johnson meets all of these conditions."
Other candidates considered contenders include Secretary of Defense Ben Wallace , Secretary of International Trade Kami Badennock, Foreign Secretary James Clich, Attorney General Brandon Lewis and Sueira Braverman, who resigned from the position of Home Secretary on Wednesday, but it has not been confirmed.
