The British ministers of finance and transport have announced that they will run for the positions of Prime Minister of Great Britain and head of the Conservative Party, after Boris Johnson resigned from both positions, the BBC reported.
Transport Minister Grant Shapps has said he will not call a general election if he is elected prime minister.
Finance Minister Nadim Zahavi said he would cut taxes, increase defense budget allocations and continue the reforms he started when he was education minister.
Earlier today, British Defense Minister Ben Wallace, who was seen by the British public as one of the favorites to replace Johnson, said he would not run.
In addition to the two ministers, former Minister of Finance Rishi Sunak, State Prosecutor Suela Braverman, former Minister for Equality Kemi Bednock and Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs Tom Tugendhat are participating in the race for the post of Conservative President and Prime Minister of Great Britain.
