See which Lincolnshire MPs backed Rishi
Rishi Sunak, armed with the support of multiple Lincolnshire MPs, is set to become the next Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, after Boris Johnson announced he wouldn’t run and Penny Morduant dropped out of the race.
A new Conservative leader and this Prime Minister is to be officially announced by Friday at the latest, with nominations for candidacy closing at 2pm on Monday. Candidates must have the support of at least 100 Tory MPs to stand. It comes as five Greater Lincolnshire MPs offered public backing for a Boris Johnson return to Downing Street, only for Johnson himself to rule it out on Sunday.
As Truss resigned, the rumour mill began circulating that Johnson was planning a fresh leadership bid, just over a month after he formally left office – bit Johnson himself said it was not the right time.
