UK PM: Boris Johnson Expected To Make Shocking Return (38775 Views)

HonNL: 5:19pm On Oct 20, 2022

Boris Johnson is expected to stand in the contest to replace Liz Truss and believes it is a matter of “national interest”, The Times has been told.

The former prime minister, who only left office six weeks ago, is taking soundings from friends but is said to believe he can turn the Conservative Party around. Several Tory MPs are already suggesting that he should replace Truss, who announced her resignation this afternoon after 44 days in office.

The prime minister said a successor would be chosen within a week “to deliver our fiscal plans and maintain our country’s economic stability”. Conservative will be “consulted”, according to Sir Graham Brady, chairman of the 1922 Committee, which runs Tory leadership contests.

SOURCE

Candidates for the Tory leadership election are expected to need the backing of 100 Tory MPs to run, The Telegraph can reveal.

That is five times the previous threshold of 20 Tory MPs to get on the ballot in the summer contest. It also means only a maximum of three candidates can run.

The details of the contest are just being finalised at an emergency meeting of the Tory party board.

SOURCE

A new Tory leader will emerge before October 31, 2022.

Nothing is impossible. This is highly dramatic though . There are power grabbers globally. After grabbing the power, they now messed it up, just like the apc.
