Sir Graham Brady, chairman of the UK's "1922 Committee", announced that British Conservative MPs will start voting on Wednesday to elect Prime Minister Boris Johnson 's successor, and 8 candidates will appear on the ballot. Rich Sunak , Leeds Trass , Tom Tugenhart, Kemi Badnock, Penny Modant, Jeremy Hunter , Nadim Zahavi and Sura Braverman all received the 20 MPs required to enter the campaign from members of the parliament. On these lists, Leeds Tras, who is currently , is considered one of the most famous "anti-China" elements in the British Conservative Party.

Previously, dozens of Johnson government members resigned in protest after a series of scandals, and Johnson was forced to resign. And before the House of Commons committee announced that eight people would finally be able to compete for the Prime Minister's decision, former Health Minister Sajid Javid said he would withdraw, apparently because he did not receive enough support.
Early, Transport Minister Grant Shapps announced his abandonment of his campaign and would support former Chancellor Rishi Sunak. Backbench Rahman Chishti – seen as the most ordinary outsider – also said he would withdraw from the campaign due to failure to get enough nominations. Meanwhile, Foreign Secretary Trass received support from Johnson's main supporters Jacob Rees-Mogg, Nadine Dorries and James clever, which was seen as a joint operation to prevent former Indian-born Chancellor Rishi Sunak from entering 10 Downing Street.
Currently, many of Johnson's supporters are still angry at the role played by Sunak in the process of pulling him down, and Sunak's decision to resign last week triggered more resignations. Current polls show that the next British leader will face a difficult task, and the Conservative Party’s support rate is also falling.
The British economy is facing soaring inflation, high debt and low growth, and people are struggling to cope with the worst fiscal austerity in decades, all amid the intensification of the Ukrainian war in the energy crisis, which has caused fuel prices to soar.
And as competition for British Prime Minister positions becomes fierce, competitors have privately strengthened their criticism of each other and pointed out the financial or other problems faced by their opponents. Sunak begins with portraying himself as a serious candidate, promising “mature” honesty rather than fairy tales” and attempting to contrast with the massive tax cuts most other candidates promise. "It is not credible to promise a substantial increase in spending and lower taxes," Sunak said, adding that tax cuts can only be cut after the surge in inflation is resolved. As a former British Finance Minister, Sunak puts Britain on the path of the heaviest tax burden since the 1950s, while most other promising candidates point fingers at him saying they will immediately oversee the cuts. However, the former Finance Minister has received the widest support among his colleagues who have publicly expressed his views.
Among these 8 people, Penny Modant is a lower-level trade minister and has a high approval rating. She topped the list in the polls of Conservative members on Monday. She also tried to take a more cautious approach on tax issues, saying that while she would cut taxes, “I will be the first to launch a solid currency.” She wrote in the Daily Telegraph . “I am a low-tax conservative, but I also think that in a difficult economic situation, we need to use government leverage to support employment and livelihoods.” The 1922 Conservative Parliamentary Committee, who organized the election, said that in the next few weeks, with repeated votes, the candidates will be quickly eliminated, and the last two candidates will be elected by less than 200,000 Conservative members by July 21. The new British Prime Minister will appear on September 5.Meanwhile, the Opposition Labor Party said the Johnson administration blocked their attempt to demand a vote of confidence in Johnson on Wednesday, forcing him to step down immediately.
