Leeds Tras announced his resignation as head of the Conservative Party party after taking office 345 days after taking office. At the same time, she will automatically resign as British Prime Minister, which makes her the shortest-serving leader in British history.

After Tras resigns, who will become the next British Prime Minister has attracted attention and heated discussions from all parties. At present, Tras's "defeated general" and former Chancellor of the Exchequer Sunak have received "more than one hundred Conservative MPs publicly expressed their support", and former Prime Minister Johnson , who just finished his vacation, has declared that he is "ready" before he flew back to London.

The new leader of this campaign will become the fifth Prime Minister of the Conservative Party in six years.

Sunak: Receive public support from one hundred Conservative MPs

According to the rules for participating in the next Conservative leader and prime minister campaign, candidates need to be nominated by 100 MPs.

Although neither Sunak nor Johnson have officially announced and launched their campaign, this has not prevented supporters from announcing their support.

According to the BBC on the 22nd, Sunak has received the support of 93 Conservative MPs so far. However, a source from Sunak's campaign said Sunak has received 100 nominations.

Sunak was born in Southampton, England in May 1980. His parents are both Indian. His grandparents were born in Punjab, India and moved to East Africa , and moved to the UK in the 1960s.

Sunak ran with Tras this summer to replace Johnson as the Conservative Party leader, but failed. During the last campaign, he had warned that his opponent's tax plans would damage the economy, but his message failed to attract party members and eventually he lost by a 21,000 votes.

At the moment, Sunak has received support from many senior officials, including former Chancellor of the Finance and Health Secretary Sajid Javid, Secretary of Security Tom Tugendhat and former Secretary of Health Matt Hancock.

Javid said: "It's obvious that Sunak has the ability to deal with the challenges we face - he is the right person to lead our party and lead the country forward."

Another supporter, Tobias, Ellwood, Ellwood said he is the 100th MP to support Sunak, saying: "It's time for a centrist, stable, fiscally responsible government to provide credible domestic and international leadership." Sunak's supporter Conservative MP Craig Williams said: "He may respond to the call for campaign leaders in the next few hours or days... Apparently more than a hundred colleagues have publicly expressed support."

Johnson: On vacation overseas, he said "I'm ready"

Former Prime Minister Johnson has 44 supporters and is currently ranked second. He has just returned from a vacation in the Caribbean and is also preparing to take over the election to replace Trass.

htmlFormer Prime Minister Johnson, who was ousted by his own government three months ago, has become an early hot candidate for the next prime minister.

In July this year, Johnson resigned amid accusations of "violating cabinet rules" and large-scale protests, but he still has allies in parliament and party.

Trade Secretary Sir James Duddridge, who supports Johnson, told the media: "He is coming back, he is ready."

Johnson supporters said the former prime minister had "momentum and support." Dudridge read out a message allegedly Johnson to the media, which seemed to confirm Johnson's choice: "Dudridge, I'm going to fly back. We're going to do that. I'm ready."

According to the British " Daily Telegraph ", current UK Trade Secretary Kemi Badenoch and former Home Secretary Suella Braverman are said to be considering supporting Johnson, a move that could unite the Conservative Right.

According to the British Daily News, the former Conservative leader contacted MPs during his vacation and promised his colleagues that if he was elected, he would "adopt a more inclusive governing style and bring more discipline to the operation of Downing Street ".

Johnson is on the plane returning from his vacation in Dominican Republic and is expected to arrive in London on Saturday morning local time.

According to Sky News, Johnson was wearing a suit and flew back to London with his wife and children. The reporter on the plane said the passengers' reaction to the former prime minister was mixed, "Some booed, some looked a little confused."

BBC commented that even for a once-miraculous politician, Johnson would be an extraordinary change if he was elected Prime Minister again.

Modant: The first person to announce his candidacy after Tras resigned

UK House of Commons leader Penny Modant is the first and only currently the only person to officially announce his candidacy, with 21 supporters at present. In 2019, Modant made history and became the first female defense secretary in the UK.

Modant earlier announced his campaign that her colleagues encouraged her to run for prime minister and promised to “unify our country, fulfill our commitments and win the next election.”

She later told the Telegraph: "We have an obligation to develop a detailed plan for the country, explaining how we will achieve it. It is not enough to just tell people that we understand their problems. Our success should be measured by whether people really feel that we can support them."

"I will use talents from all aspects of the Conservative Party, as well as talents from the entire country to achieve this." Penny Modant's supporter and Conservative MP Bob Healy said: "I think we have a responsibility to apologize to the country in a collective way." He said that he believes Modant is most likely to achieve "unity and leadership" within the party.

will produce winners next Friday

According to the BBC, the nomination to succeed Tras as the next Conservative Party leader and prime minister has now been opened and will be closed at 14:00 on Monday, October 24, UK .

To participate in the election, candidates need to be nominated by at least 100 Conservative MPs. That's far higher than the 20 nominations required in the last campaign. Since the Conservative Party currently has 357 MPs, only three candidates can be nominated.

If only one person reaches the 100 vote threshold as of next Monday, he will become the next leader and become the new prime minister without the need for the next stage of competition.

If there are three candidates, the candidate with the least votes will be eliminated directly. Conservative MPs will vote on the remaining two candidates from 18:30 to 20:30 on the day of the day, and the results will come out at 21:00 on the same day.

If no one exits after the indicative vote, all Conservatives will participate in the online vote to decide the winner. The two candidates will participate in a television debate before the party members votes end. The final winner will be produced next Friday (October 28).
