Boris Johnson has refused to run for leader of the Conservative Party and Prime Minister of Great Britain. It is reported by Reuters.
He said he had a good chance of winning, but now is "not the right time" to fight for the premiership.
Now, with the greatest probability, the former finance minister of the country, Rishi Sunak, will become the prime minister of Great Britain. He was supported by 157 deputies, writes BBC Russian Service. Sunak served as Minister of Finance from February 2020 to July 2022.
On October 20, Prime Minister Liz Truss announced her resignation. She stayed in office for only 45 days, setting an anti-record for the duration of the premiership in the history of the country. During this time, Truss lost two key ministers, the support of the electorate and the parliamentary faction, her rating dropped to 15%.
