As the world waits expectantly for the UK Prime Minister race to officially begin, the big question on everyone’s mind is who will emerge as the winner of this highly anticipated political contest.

The candidates

• Boris Johnson
• Jeremy Hunt
• Michael Gove
• Dominic Raab
• Esther McVey
• Matt Hancock
• Rory Stewart
• Andrea Leadsom

Although a number of candidates have thrown their hats in the ring for this highly sought-after role, the overwhelming favourites are Boris Johnson and Jeremy Hunt.

Boris Johnson

Boris Johnson, the former mayor of London, is considered by many to be the favourite to become the next Prime Minister of the UK. Despite a series of controversies and missteps in his long career, Johnson remains highly popular among many voters.

Jeremy Hunt

Jeremy Hunt, the current Foreign Secretary, is considered by many to be a strong challenger to Johnson. Hunt has served in a number of high-profile roles in government and has established himself as a strong and competent politician.

The issues

Regardless of who wins the race to become the next UK Prime Minister, there are a number of key issues that will need to be addressed by the successful candidate. Brexit will undoubtedly be at the top of the agenda, with the new Prime Minister expected to deliver a plan for the UK’s exit from the EU.

Other key issues that will need to be tackled include the state of the UK’s economy, the ongoing crisis in social care, and the need to address mounting concerns over climate change and the environment.

The future

As the race for the UK Prime Minister’s office begins, there is no doubt that the outcome will have significant implications for the future direction of the country. The winner will need to demonstrate strong leadership qualities and a clear vision for the UK’s future, as well as the ability to navigate the many challenges that lie ahead.

Only time will tell who will emerge victorious in this highly anticipated political contest, but one thing is certain – the UK is in for a period of great change and uncertainty in the months ahead.
