One contender who came to the forefront quickly was former prime minister Boris Johnson.
While prime minister, Johnson finished up the polarizing Brexit; separating the United Kingdom from the European Union.
He ended up resigning in July 2022 in part because of outrage over “partygate” in which theU.K.
government broke its own COVID-19 lockdown restrictions.
But Johnson isn’t looking to be prime minister again, at least not yet.
Boris Johnson said in a statement, according toThe New York Times, that he had that support.
you’re able to’t govern effectively unless you have a united party in parliament."
The next general election in the U.K. must be complete by January 2025, perBBC.
