Leader of the House of Commons, Penny Mordaunt MP (One of three persons contesting) has 24 supporters ahead of closing time on Monday (5:00 pm), 24th October 2022.

Mr Johnson had the public backing of 59 Tory MPs but had to reach 100 to proceed in the race.

This leaves the race open for former chancellor Rishi Sunak who leads nominations among Tory MPs, with 144 supporters.

In a statement, the former prime minister confirmed that he had "cleared the very high hurdle of 102 nominations", but came to the conclusion that "this is simply not the right time".

He added: "And though I have reached out to both Rishi and Penny - because I hoped that we could come together in the national interest - we have sadly not been able to work out a way of doing this".

Mr Johnson said while he was "attracted" to support from his colleagues, he added "you can't govern effectively unless you have a united party in parliament".

On Sunday, several long-time allies of Mr Johnson, including Suella Braverman and Steve Baker, threw their support behind Rishi Sunak, the frontrunner in the race.

Only persons above the 100 threshold can progress to the next stage and if there is only one, he succeeds outgoing PM Elizabeth Truss. Sunak, a fierce rival of Johnson's lost to Truss in the race for 10 Downing Street, about 7 weeks ago.

Boris Johnson's Statement:

Okay

Interesting weeks ahead for them in the UK

Meanwhile, Nigeria should vote in a credible leader.

If you know you are supporting a fraudster or someone capable of looting the country's treasury, then it is a right step towards identifying those who are selfish and really hate Nigeria

An Indian man

Can a fool àní man or yoruba be the chairman of any OSU REGION? IMPOSSIBLE.


UK COULD ONLY PULL THIS BECAUSE THEY HAVE A STRONG STRUCTURE.
WHOEVER IS PM DOESN'T REALLY MATTER...

Well an Indian person was always likely to be the first foreign PM of the UK

Thats how things goes in saner climes... They are not selfish and they think positivly.
