Rishi Sunak is believed to be the next PM of Britain. The situation will become clear at 6:30 pm on Monday. The names of Boris Johnson, Rishi Sunak, and Penny Mordaunt surfaced after the resignation of Prime Minister Liz Truss. Then, with Johnson out of the race on Sunday, the match is now between Rishi Sunak and Penny.

There are 357 MPs in the UK Parliament. According to the new election rules, it is necessary to have the support of more than 100 MPs to become the Prime Minister. According to the BBC report, 155 MPs are supporting Sunak. At the same time, Penny Mordaunt has been able to garner the support of only 25 MPs. For this, today the party members will vote online, not by ballot.
