UK PM Election News LIVE | Can Rishi Sunak Beat Boris Johnson? | Sunak Surpasses 100 Nominations

British Conservative politician Rishi Sunak surpasses 100 nominations for Tory leader which was the minimum threshold after Liz Truss' resignation

On Friday night, Rishi Sunak became the first Tory leadership candidate to receive the support of 100 MPs, as Boris Johnson’s supporters warned of a ‘stitch-up’.

A report by the Telegraph quoted a campaign source as saying that the former chancellor crossed the threshold around 10 p.m., which means he will be on the ballot for Monday’s election. His team is now seeking the support of a majority of Tory MPs.

The Telegraph reported that Kemi Badenoch, the International Trade Secretary, and Suella Braverman, the former Home Secretary, are considering supporting Johnson, which would be a significant boost for the party’s Right.
