UK Politics: Who will be the next prime minister of the UK
UK politics and the public has seen many changes in the last couple of months after the resignation of Boris Johnson. First, Boris Johnson, the highest vote achiever in the United Kingdom, lost the trust of his MPs and set to resign. Now, Liz Truss has resigned from her position just after 45 days after being elected.
Now it has become the biggest question for the entire world, who will be the next Prime Minister of the UK?
What is the exact reason for Liz Truss’ resignation?
According to the media reports and Liz Truss’s resignation speech, she resigned because of the economic disaster in the country. The financial condition of the United Kingdom has been unstable for several months and continues to fall. Even the UK lost its position as the world’s 5th biggest economy last month when India became the 5th most prosperous country in the world.
Due to these economic crises, Liz Truss resigned from her position. However, many other speculations are being made about her resignation.
Highlights of her speech.’
Liz said I came into office at a time of good economic and international instability. I cannot deliver the mandate on which I was elected by the party. I have therefore spoken to His Majesty the King to inform him that I am resigning as a leader of the Conservative Party.
Who will be the next choice of the UK as its Prime Minister and President of the Conservative Party?
There is an extensive list of candidates who can become the next President of the Conservative Party and Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Here are the leaders who have the potential to lead the country in the best possible way.
Rishi Sunak
Rishi Sunak is going to be the most prominent face for the upcoming Prime Minister elections in the UK. He was runner-up to Liz during the last leadership contest in September. Although Mr. Rishi won more support than Ms. Liz among MPs, he remains a divisive figure in Parliament.
Boris Johnson
According to some media reports and political specialists, upcoming elections may be the best chance for Mr. Boris to become Prime Minister again. His popularity among the people of the United Kingdom and its leaders is still substantial. In fact, many MPs have asked Mr. Johnson to throw his hat in the ring.
According to a survey by YouGov, Boris Johnson is the most popular candidate among the MPs of the Conservative Party.
Penny Mordaunt
During the previous leadership contest, Penny was one of the favorites of Conservative Party MPs. She had been tipped before as a possible PM when serving in 2019 as Theresa May’s defense secretary.
Other candidates like Kemi Badenoch, Suella Braverman, and Ben Wallace can also present their candidature.
The process of selecting the next Prime Minister.Like the last contest, the United Kingdom’s next leader will not be selected by a general public vote. Instead, the 357 members of the Conservative Party and, perhaps, 170,000 dues-paying party members will choose the next Prime Minister.
