A variety of high-profile Conservative members have put their name forward for leadership
Following Boris Johnson's resignation as Prime Minister, a high number of Tories have decided to join the race for leadership and become his successor.
Rishi Sunak Former chancellor Rishi Sunak announced his bid for leadership in a three-minute campaign video last Friday. He is kicking off his campaign with the promise to "restore trust, rebuild the economy and reunite the country". During his time as health secretary, Mr Javic helped curve public health policy in regards to the coronavirus pandemic as the nation was experiencing a third wave in cases. He strongly advocated the government opinion that the public must "learn to accept the existence of Covid and find ways to cope with it - just as we already do with flu".
During her political career, Ms Mordaunt was one of the more prominent voices for the Leave campaign in the 2016 Brexit referendum. Nadhim Zahawi Mr Zahawi announced his bid by promising to lower taces, improve education for the country and pledging to "steady the ship" and "stabilise the economy". He also said he would take a stance against so-called culture war issues and wants to protect children from what he believes is "damaging and inappropriate nonsense from radical activists".
Kemi Badenoch Former equalities minister Kemi Badenoch announced her bid by stating she will lead a government "focused on the essentials". She also announced that she will support lower taxes "to boost growth and production, and accompanied by tight spending discipline".
