The news of his return to the political arena, anticipated by 'The Times', has been received with

divided opinions in the Conservative Party

.

Despite continuing to be the militants' favorite candidate, dozens of 'Tory' deputies consider that his return - three and a half months after his resignation - would be counterproductive and some have even threatened to flee to parties of the opposition.

Johnson would need to have the support of at least 100 deputies to be able to present his candidacy next Monday, according to the rules set by the

1922 Parliamentary Committee

.

Its president,

Graham Brady

, assured that the decision to set such a high number of deputies (out of a total of 360) will serve to speed up the process to one week and ensure that only "serious candidates" make their way.

Some analysts believe that the decision to set such a high number can be interpreted as an attempt to dissuade Johnson against

Rishi Sunak

himself and the third candidate in discord,

Penny Mordaunt

, since both exceeded one hundred supports in the contest for the leadership. 'tory' celebrated this summer.

At the end of Thursday, Sunak already had the support of 29 deputies, compared to 24 from Johnson himself and 11 from Mordaunt.

Suella Braverman

and MP

Kemi Badenoch

will compete for the support of the hard wing of the party.
