“I am ready to become the next leader of the Conservative Party and your prime minister,” RIA Novosti quoted Chishti as saying on Twitter.

He noted that new ideas and a new team matter to him.

On July 7, the current British Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced that he had decided to step down as Prime Minister of Great Britain and the leader of the country's Conservative Party.

He will continue to fulfill his duties until the election of a new head of the cabinet of ministers.
