Britain's Conservative Party to Hold Second Leadership Election of the Year

Eight Candidates to Compete for Prime Ministerial Position

Rishi Sunak, Liz Truss, Jeremy Hunt Among Hopefuls

London, UK - Britain's Conservative Party has announced a second leadership election this year, with the winner becoming the country's next prime minister. Eight candidates will compete to replace Boris Johnson, who resigned earlier this month following a series of scandals.

The remaining leadership hopefuls include Kemi Badenoch, Suella Braverman, Jeremy Hunt, Penny Mordaunt, Rishi Sunak, Liz Truss, and Tom Tugendhat. The candidates will participate in a series of debates and hustings before the party's members vote for their preferred choice.

The winner is expected to be announced on September 5th and will take office immediately. The new leader will face a number of challenges, including the ongoing cost-of-living crisis and the UK's continuing negotiations with the European Union.
