Newshub18 :Who is the successor of Boris

The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Boris Johnson has resigned as party chief amid unprecedented pressure from the government and his own party. In this situation, speculation has started about who will be the successor of Boris.

Since Boris has no successor, many senior Tory (Conservative) leaders may take advantage of his departure. The Boris government has been in turmoil since the resignations of Finance Minister Rishi Sunak and Health Minister Sajid Javed on Tuesday. The Prime Minister quickly appointed Nadeem Jahabi and Steve Berkeley to their posts. Rishi Sunak and Sajid Javid are also in the discussion of a person who can take his place if Boris Johnson leaves. Apart from this, some members of the current cabinet and former cabinet are also under discussion. Let’s find out about them:
