Zakharova noted that the candidates for the post of prime minister are put forward by the same people "who have participated in decision-making for many years."

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.

Later, a number of ministers of the United Kingdom announced their candidacies for the positions of leader of the Conservative Party and Prime Minister of Great Britain.

In particular, such statements were made by the new head of the UK Treasury, Nadeem Zahavi, and his predecessor Rishi Sunak, Transport Minister Grant Shapps, Foreign Minister Liz Truss.
