Former British Prime Minister Johnson
Elizabeth Trass resigned as head of the British Conservative Party and Prime Minister after 45 days of chaos, prompting Conservative Party to hold a second leader election in four months. British media said Conservative MPs are looking for successors who can unite the party and turn the situation around, and whether former British Prime Minister Johnson will run again and return to the stage has become the focus of attention.
According to the British Sky News Network on the 20th, the British Conservative Party will complete the leadership election in the next week, and is scheduled to vote for a new leader by October 28, and will take office on October 31. The Conservative Party’s new leader candidate will need to be nominated by at least 100 Conservative MPs, which will also make the final candidate no more than 3. But if only one candidate reaches the 100 votes threshold, or if a competitor withdraws, the new prime minister candidate will be finalized on October 24.
htmlOn October 20, there was news that Johnson would run for the election again, but he did not come forward to express his opinion. According to the BBC (BBC), Conservative sources revealed that British Business Secretary Jacob Rees Mogh has been encouraging his colleagues to support Johnson's campaign. Conservative insiders told Guardian that although Johnson is popular with party insiders, he is a very controversial figure among MPs and it is difficult to meet the threshold required to nominate candidates. "For Johnson, the cruel fact is that the approval rating has not changed since he stepped down, and I don't think he has received more than 60 votes of support."According to British media reports, former British Chancellor Risunak and former Defense Secretary Modant both expressed their intention to run for the election. In addition, British Home Secretary Bryferman, who just left this week, was also considered by his allies to run for election. The Chancellor of the Exchequer Hunter has confirmed that he will not participate in the next Conservative leader's election.
