Here is a list of some of the possible candidates to replace Liz Truss as Britain's next prime minister. And yes, Boris Johnson is one of them.
Candidates have until Monday to put their name forward, but party officials have announced that in order to be considered they will have to show they have the backing of 100 Conservative legislators, about a third of the party's lawmakers in the House of Commons.
While no candidates announced their interest immediately, here is a list of some possible replacements for Truss in No. 10 Downing Street.Daniel Leal/AFP via Getty ImagesBoris Johnson delivers his final speech as prime minister outside No. 10 Downing Street on Sept. 6.just this past July and faces a parliamentary investigation into his behavior involving his public statements about social gatherings in Downing Street amid COVID-19 lockdown when he was prime minister.
And although Johnson was unwilling to leave Downing Street earlier this year, there has been little public indication that he wants to take up once more what many will consider a poisoned chalice, given the country's obvious economic and political challenges. Mordaunt had served as a naval reservist and in 2019 became the first woman to serve as the country's defense secretary. Her possible candidacy has already received several public endorsements from other legislators.
