London: The nomination process for the election of the new Prime Minister of Britain has been completed. Shortly before the process on Tuesday, two candidates of Pakistani origin withdrew their names. These include former Health Minister Sajid Javid and Foreign Office Minister Rehman Chishti. That’s why both these leaders withdrew their names. Because they could not get the support of 20 MPs. Let us inform you that after the initial sorting, the remaining 8 candidates will compete in the first round of voting on Wednesday. The 8 candidates who have cleared the first round include former UK Defense Secretary Penny Modrant, Chemi Badenoch, Foreign Secretary Lis Truss, former Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt, Backbench MPs Tom Tugendhat, and Nadim Jahavi, Rishi Sunak, and Suella Fernandes.
Let us tell you that 11 MPs of the Conservative Party had submitted their claim to become the new PM of Britain, but along with MPs Sajid Javid and Rehman Chishti, Grant Shapps withdrew their names. Let us tell you that there will be a total of three rounds of elections. After the completion of the first round, now there will be two more rounds, and the party will give a chance to the winner of them to become the new PM of the country.
