Amid a crowded field, five politicians are looking like favorites to succeed May.
The declared and potential contenders in any upcoming Conservative Party leadership contest: Matt Hancock, Liz Truss, Boris Johnson, Andrea Leadsom, Jeremy Hunt, Amber Rudd; Rory Stewart, Esther McVey, Michael Gove, Sajid Javid, Dominic Raab and Penny Mordaunt.
May has been prime minister since shortly after Britain’s vote to leave the European Union in June 2016. She has survived no-confidence votes and seen her withdrawal agreement defeated in Parliament three times. Although her latest agreement offered tweaks, including a possible vote on a second referendum on Brexit, it also alienated some of her few remaining Conservative allies.
Here are the leading candidates to replace May, and their latest odds, according to the bookmaker William Hill. The flamboyant former foreign secretary and a leading Brexiteer is a clear front-runner. Johnson is that rare politician who has cross-party appeal. He served two terms as mayor of London — an impressive feat in a city that typically votes Labour. But his popularity began to slump after the 2016 referendum, especially in pro-E.U.
He recently told reporters, “One thing that working closely with the prime minister does is cure you completely of any lingering shred of ambition to want to do that task.” A member of Parliament since 2010, Raab was selected by May to be Brexit secretary in July 2018. However, he resigned on Nov. 15 in opposition to the draft withdrawal agreement that May’s government was advocating.
