Britain’s Prime Minister Liz Truss has vowed to lead Britain’s Conservatives to the next election – within two years – but after a disastrous six weeks at Downing Street, many doubt she will remain the leader for long.

Here are the main competitors that could take over.

Truss easily beat the former Chancellor of the Exchequer in the Tory leadership contest this summer, winning over party members with a promise to cut taxes and regulations without cutting government spending.

Sunak, 42, has repeatedly warned that her plans to fund the proposals with additional borrowing are reckless and could exacerbate decades of inflation and market confidence in the UK.

Now that he’s absolutely right – and Truss has scrapped her plans and replaced her former Treasury Secretary with Sunak-backed Jeremy Hunt – some see him as the most suitable Conservative MP to replace Truss.

Sunak has garnered the support of most Tory lawmakers in the early rounds of the latest leadership contest and is believed to still enjoy considerable support within the Parliamentary party.

A new Tuesday YouGov poll found he has the best ratings of touted alternatives to truss — albeit still with a net health rating of -18.

But he’s also now seen as a divisive figure. Many party members, who have the final say over who leads the party, do not want to forgive him for his role in toppling ex-Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

The former Prime Minister left office early last month after a revolt in his cabinet and among Tory MPs sparked by the resignation of Sunak and others from his faltering government after months of controversy.

Encouraged by several strong hints from Johnson himself, speculation has since swirled that he would attempt an eventual comeback – although few thought it could be feasible so soon.

The ever-exuberant Brexit figurehead remains popular with a segment of Conservative MPs and the party, but his brand among the wider electorate was badly damaged by his scandal-ridden three-year tenure.

Tuesday’s YouGov poll showed the 58-year-old to be far more popular than Truss. Nevertheless, around two-thirds of those surveyed have a negative opinion of him.

Johnson has kept a low profile since stepping down and gave a paid speech in the United States last week, but has not offered any guidance on his views on the current crises in Britain.

He was thought to favor Truss in the summer leadership contest – although his former top aide and arch-critic Dominic Cummings argued that this was because he expected her tenure to be disastrous and short-lived, paving the way for his return .

Truss’ new Treasury Secretary was a candidate in the last two Tories’ leadership contests. He lost to Johnson in the last runoff election in 2019 and finished last in the first round of MPs that year.

But his appointment as the second most powerful post in the government has brought the former foreign secretary back to the center of the stage from the political wilderness, and his commanding performance so far has boosted his standing.

As Conservative MPs plot to oust Truss, some are suggesting that Hunt — an ex-businessman who draws most of the support from the party’s centrist wing — could emerge as a competent candidate for unity.

But the 55-year-old would enjoy an even smaller Democratic mandate than most of his rivals, likely fueling calls for a general election which the Tories – based on recent polls – would lose by a landslide.

The current cabinet member was an early favorite to succeed Johnson, collecting eight votes in the runoff against Sunak to beat Truss.

The former defense and trade secretary, popular with the Tory’s grassroots, was a strong Brexit supporter and a key figure in the 2016 Leave campaign.

But she has faced criticism from Conservative peers in the recent leadership race, with some accusing her of being ineffective in previous government roles.

Mordaunt’s profile rose this week after she was sent in place of Truss to answer a pressing question from the Labor opposition in Parliament on the recent economic turmoil on Monday.

Despite being forced to declare that the Prime Minister was “not under a desk” – in response to allegations that Truss was in hiding – Mordaunt was coping well with a feverish House of Commons.

According to reports Tuesday, a senior ally of the 49-year-old held private talks with Sunak last week about forming a unified ticket, but the ex-finance minister turned down the offer because he doesn’t want to be the junior partner.
