Sunak has the support of more than 100 MPs, who will become the new PM of Britain?

Britain : Supporters of Rishi Sunak said on Saturday that the former Indian-origin chancellor has got the support of 100 MPs to join the list of candidates in the race to become the country's prime minister. Sunak is in the race to replace Liz Truss as the country's prime minister and leader of the Conservative Party. It is worth noting that the country's former Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who is on holiday in the Caribbean country, has also returned home with the intention of joining this race.

Increasing number of pro-MPs

The number of MPs supporting 42-year-old Sunak has been increasing steadily. It is noteworthy that neither Sunak and Johnson have made a formal announcement of contesting elections to become the leader of the party so far. So far, 'Leader of the Commons' Penny Mordant is the only candidate who has announced to contest the election. However, Sunak, the former finance minister, has got the support of some Tory party ministers and some MPs from different factions of the Tory party.

'Sunak's plan is right, he is a deserving candidate'

Former Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab told the BBC: "Sage's plan for the summer was absolutely right and I think it's still the right plan." We are deserving candidates to give confidence and boost business in the country." Raab said, "We cannot go back. We don't want another episode like Partygate again. We have to take the country and the government forward." A new turn of events came from the news of 'Sky News', in which it showed Johnson returning to London with wife and children from the Dominican Republic. At the same time, aides of the former prime minister have indicated that they support Johnson's return to 10 Downing Street.
