Seven Tory MPs are preparing leadership bids following Rishi Sunak’s announcement that he will step down as opposition leader. The pool of potential candidates is limited with only 121 Conservative MPs remaining in the House of Commons. Former home secretaries Priti Patel and Suella Braverman, along with Kemi Badenoch, Robert Jenrick, James Cleverly, Tom Tugendhat, and Victoria Atkins are reportedly considering running for the leadership position. Speculation is rife within the party regarding the timing of the leadership contest and whether a shift to the Left or Right is necessary. With the Conservatives suffering their worst election defeat ever, the upcoming leadership change is poised to reshape the party’s future direction.
