Below is a summary of the potential successors to him. However, there are no clear favorites and they are not listed in promising order.
LIZ TRUSS
The Foreign Minister is the grassroots darling of the ruling Conservative Party and regularly surpasses the polls of party members conducted by the website Conservative Party.

The 46-year-old woman spent the first two years of Prime Minister Johnson as Minister of International Trade, defending Brexit and was appointed last year as a key negotiator with the European Union in the United Kingdom. ..
Truss said on Monday that Johnson had "100% support" and urged her colleagues to support him.
JEREMY HUNT
Former Foreign Minister 55 years old finished second only to Johnson in the 2019 Leadership Contest. He will offer a more serious and controversial style of leadership after the turmoil of Johnson's premiership.
For the past two years, Hunt has taken advantage of his experience as a former Minister of Health, chairing the Parliamentary Health Special Committee, and his current government duties will not hurt him.
Earlier this year, he said his ambition to become prime minister "has not completely disappeared." Hunt said last month he voted to expel Johnson in a vote of no confidence that the prime minister had won slightly.

RISHI SUNAK
Snack, who resigned from the Treasury Minister on Tuesday, said the British people "naturally expect the government to do it properly, competently and seriously." He was preferred as Johnson's successor until last year. ..
He was praised for the COVID-19 Economic Relief Package, which includes a costly employment retention program to avoid mass unemployment.
However, Snacks later faced criticism that he did not provide sufficient living support to his household. The exposure of his wealthy wife's non-domicile tax status and, along with Johnson, of the fines he received for breaking the COVID blockade rules, hurt his position.
Last year's budget for his taxes and spending undermined his claim to put Britain on track for the largest tax burden since the 1950s and to support lower taxes. ..

Zahawi's personal story as a former refugee from Iraq who came to Britain as a child sets him apart from other competitors.

Penny Mordaunt
The former Defense Minister was dismissed by Johnson when he became prime minister after Johnson endorsed his rival Hunt in the final leadership contest.
Mordant is an avid supporter of leaving the European Union and has made a national headline by attending the now obsolete reality TV dive show.
Currently, the lower trade minister, Mordant, called the party breaking the government blockade "shameful." She had previously expressed her loyalty to Johnson.
Tom Tagendat
The chairman of the Parliamentary Foreign Affairs Committee and former soldiers who fought in Iraq and Afghanistan have already shown that he will run for a leadership contest.
He is a regular critic of Johnson and will provide his party with a clean break with the previous government.
