Sunak has the backing of at least 124 Conservative lawmakers, while Johnson, who has not declared if he is running, has about 50 ahead of the crucial nomination on Monday.
The UK will have its fourth prime minister in just over three years after Liz Truss's ill-fated premiership finally crashed on Thursday.
Liz Truss said on Thursday she was resigning as British prime minister just six weeks after she was appointed, brought down by an economic programme that sent shockwaves through financial markets last month and divided her Conservative Party. FRANCE 24's International Affairs Editor Philip Turle explains.
She is the shortest-serving PM in recent UK history.
We knew about the figurehead king. But does Britain now have a figurehead prime minister? Liz Truss’ grip on power slipping by the day. A U-turn on unfunded tax cuts for the rich most likely will not be enough to repair the damage. Is she really reduced to the role of prime minister in name only? And is she really the problem or the symptom of the problem?
