Crucial candidates to replace British PM.
The resignation of the British Prime Minister has once again led to speculations about who will replace him.
British Prime Minister Liz Truss resigned on Thursday, ending her disappointing tenure at 10 Downing Street.
The resignation of Liz Truss will once again trigger a competition between prominent candidates to win the presidency of the Conservative Party and, as a result, the British Prime Minister. This is the second election contest in the last 4 months.
Liz Truss, 47, who was in power for only 45 days, will remain in office until the Conservative Party nominates her successor. The process of selecting the party chairman is supposed to be determined in a fast process in about 10 days.
Graham Brady, one of the senior lawmakers of the conservative party, said that each of those who are nominated must get 100 votes from the parliamentarians and the competition will end by Friday next week.
42-year-old Rishi Sonak, who was defeated by Liz Truss in the previous election race, is considered the main chance for the prime minister this time, although it seems difficult to reach a consensus among the conservatives and the Labor Party is again calling for a general election. National elections have been held.
