Though Johnson and several supporters had claimed he had enough backers to enter the final round of voting, only 54 of the 100 needed had publicly backed him
could be installed as Prime Minister as early as Monday evening. Though should the race continue and Mordaunt finds enough backers to make it into the next stage, the UK could still see a new prime minister as early as the end of the week.In the last few days I have been overwhelmed by the number of people who suggested that I should once again contest the Conservative Party leadership, both among the public and among friends and colleagues in Parliament.
A general election would be a further disastrous distraction just when the Government must focus on the economic pressures faced by families across the country. I believe I am well placed to deliver a Conservative victory in 2024 - and tonight I can confirm that I have cleared the very high hurdle of 102 nominations, including a proposer and a seconder, and I could put my nomination in tomorrow.
Boris Johnson delivers a farewell address before his official resignation at Downing Street on September 6 And though I have reached out to both Rishi and Penny - because I hoped that we could come together in the national interest - we have sadly not been able to work out a way of doing this.Therefore I am afraid the best thing is that I do not allow my nomination to go forward and commit my support to whoever succeeds.
