Boris Johnson, Rishi Sunak lead race to become Britain's next prime minister • FRANCE 24 English

Boris Johnson and former finance minister Rishi Sunak were leading the potential contenders to replace British Prime Minister Liz Truss on Friday, with candidates canvassing support to become Conservative Party leader in a fast-tracked contest. After Truss quit on Thursday, ending her six weeks in power, those who want to replace her were trying to find the 100 votes from Conservative lawmakers needed to run in a contest which the party hopes will reset its ailing fortunes.

Imagine you're so bad as a prime minister such that the prior prime minister who resigned because of countless scandals has to come back

[selmahare]

Boris did say “hasta la vista baby”. Makes me wonder whether he knew that he was just going on a holiday.

[fernandoferdinand]

I think the 43 days of Truss an UK PM was just a glitch in the matrix...

[MrLegendra]

There are things I do not agree with Rishi, but his economic policies were sound, effective and realistic. He will have a lot of work to do to fix the economy.

I don't know why people blame Sunak infact Borris messed it during Ukraine Russia war. Sunak performed his job well.

[MickyLion]

If Boris am sure UK will bee seen as a joke forever

[abc-zzzf]

Truss should be a candidate as well-who knows maybe this time she will be successful.

[Peter_Thorpe]

There should be fresh Elections..People in UK need to decide who's gonna be next PM

[d.sertsedesta]

Sunak can hardly be UK’s PM just because of his Indian origin though all know he is the best person to get out UK from its current crisis. Deep rooted dogma.

[jirikrajnak]

Boris Johnson? Are you for real? 🤣 That's how a desperate government looks like, I guess.

[prem]

If Boris again means invite to bat a injured player who has already been ruled out to the game due to injury.

[brauliorivera]

Rishi sunak will be an excellent prime minister and leader of the conservative party 👍

If boris came to power one more time he will go to ukraine and meet Zelensky that's only thing he can do. Sunak is a capable man and he predicted about uk economy.

[salaheldinmohamed]

Boris Johnson to keep Tory in number 10.

[tommyboss]

Let's face the new reality. Time is changing. Let the descendants of India-Rishi Sunak lead the United Kingdom. Let's try him.

[simpsonlee]

45 days and she still gets the £110k a year pension

[mauneshdhuri]

Boris coming back would be a MEME in real life.

[religionisafairytale]

The British people want a general election not another clown show and I thought we live in a democracy but I'm obviously wrong

[teddyrwilliam]

Boris is the best for the PM they all shouted at him for the party tell me who did not have a party even Keir had one and many more Bring back Boris for PM NOW

[bermaravi]

Boris Johnson, What?
Why they expelled him than??
I can't understand the logic..
ofcourse, if it is b/w Boris and Sunak, again Racisim will win.😂😂👏👏
