The ruling Conservative Party of Great Britain announced that the name of the new British Prime Minister, who will succeed the resigned Boris Johnson, will be announced on September 5.

The party’s 1922 committee chairman, Graham Brady, told reporters that “the door for nominating candidates for Boris Johnson’s seat in the party leadership will be open tomorrow,” explaining that “the first vote will take place on Wednesday and the second on Thursday.” We guarantee that there will be enough time before the announcement of the results on September 5th.”

British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss announced today that she will run to succeed Johnson, who resigned last week, commenting: “I will run in this election as a Conservative and I will rule as a Conservative.”
