Eleven Potential Boris Johnson Successors Line Up to Court Conservatives in U.K. Prime Minister Race
LONDON—The race to succeed British Prime Minister Boris Johnson intensified on Monday, with several senior Conservative Party politicians pitching themselves with pledges to stick to his approaches toward Brexit and curbing illegal migration, while looking for ways to stoke economic growth.
Former treasury chief Rishi Sunak, who helped spark the wave of resignations by ministers and aides that forced Mr. Johnson to step down, has taken an early lead by gaining at least 30 public endorsements from other Tory politicians.
