After Truss’s resignation: reports: Johnson is said to be planning a new candidacy as prime minister

British Prime Minister Liz Truss had barely announced her resignation when there were reports of Boris Johnson making a comeback. Parts of the party still support the former prime minister.

Scandal-plagued British ex-Prime Minister Boris Johnson is reportedly planning to run again for the post.

This was reported by the newspapers “Times” and “Telegraph” on Thursday, citing unnamed sources, after Prime Minister Liz Truss, who had come under pressure, had previously announced her resignation. Johnson believes running for office is in the “national interest,” the Times said.

Johnson, who was forced to resign in early July after the “Partygate” affair and many other scandals, still has a loyal support base in parts of the party. In polls among party members, Johnson did well again recently.
