Boris Johnson could again become prime minister of Great Britain

The Conservative Party, which has a major majority in parliament and does not need to call nationwide elections for two more years, will now elect a new leader until October 28th, Britain's fifth prime minister in six years, Reuters writes.

This race is likely to deploy former Finance Minister Rizi Sunnak against Penny Mor Ashdown, but it may also see Boris Johnson's return, who collapsed from the prime minister's post in July, when his ministers resigned en masse to force him to leave office.

The view of another unpopular prime minister making a resignation speech in Downing Street ʹ and the beginning of a new leadership race underlines how unstable British politics has become since the 2016 vote to leave the European Union.

Speaking outside the door of her office number 10, Truss acknowledged that she had lost her party's confidence and would resign next week.
