The most popular one is the former British Chancellor Rich Sunak, who has received support from 100 of the 357 Conservative MPs. If nothing unexpected happens, he will represent Conservative for the new party leader and prime minister. Congressman Ewood said on Twitter that he is honored to be the 100th Conservative MP to support Sunak .
In the UK, it must be supported by 100 MPs to be eligible to represent the party in the election of the head of the party and the prime minister. Sunak has now crossed the minimum election threshold.
In addition, if the competitor fails to receive support from 100 Conservative MPs, Sunak will automatically become the new leader and prime minister.
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 leader of the Conservative Party, 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 Javid, Secretary of Security Tugenhart and former Secretary of Health Hancock. Javid said: "It is 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."
However, Sunak's competitors are also very strong.
At present, 47 MPs support former British Prime Minister Johnson to regain the prime minister. Johnson himself is also interested in running for the election. He ended the holiday early and entered this urgent competition.
British Commons leader Penny Mordante has so far received support from 19 MPs and is the first to announce her candidacy.
Since the Conservative Party holds a majority in parliament and no longer needs to hold general elections in the next two years, the new leader will become the fifth prime minister in the UK in six years.
NeiSunak and Johnson have not announced their candidacy yet. Conservative MPs will vote on October 24 and will let party members vote online next week.
At present, there is a lot of controversy over Johnson's re-run election.
Some supporters shouted "Let former Prime Minister Johnson come back." Several allies believe that although Johnson was forced to resign in July due to a series of scandals, he is the first candidate to get Britain back to stability. Conservative MP Clark Smith said the next prime minister needs authorization from voters and party members, he must be a role that can be a winner, and Johnson meets all the criteria.
However, Conservative MP Gail said the contrary, and he believed that Johnson should be banned from running for election, and that there should be no possibility of returning to the government until the party door investigation is completed and whether he is guilty or innocent. Opposition Labor leader Schkele also said that Johnson is not suitable for being a leader. "If they experienced this experiment, chaos and economic losses, they wanted to go back three months ago and let the person who was considered unsuitable again take power. I think this is just sprinkling salt on the wounds of the public." Other critics say that getting Johnson back is an insult to the British people, and that Johnson's return to office may add fuel to the already chaotic political situation.
British Parliament Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Tugenhart once competed for the party leader after Johnson was forced to leave in July this year. Now, he calls on scandal-ridden Johnson not to run for the election. "It's not the time to play political games, revenge or go back," Tugenhart said, choosing to support Sunak.
Bell, a professor of political science at Queen Mary School of University of London, told the media, "I don't think MPs want to go back and choose the same person they were expelled from Downing Street a few months ago. At that time, two-thirds of voters wanted him to step down. It was a fool to think that voters would want Johnson to come back." (Frog in Inoue)
