Benny Mordaunt withdrew her application shortly before Sunak was elected party leader and promised Sunak her support.
Johnson did not support the request to return
Sunak will succeed Liz Truss, who resigned on Thursday after just six weeks in the job. The possibility of Boris Johnson’s return was also raised, and it was announced Sunday evening that he would not apply. Johnson was British Prime Minister until early September.
The opposition is calling for new elections. Labor leader Keir Starmer said the Conservative Party had shown it no longer had a mandate to govern.
