He goes on to emphasize that he himself believes he is a good candidate for the leadership position.  &#8211; But in the last few days I have unfortunately realized that it is not the right thing to do.

Johnson resigned as prime minister just over a month ago, following several scandals related to his leadership during the corona pandemic.  Lizz Truss took over the leadership and prime ministership but resigned after 44 days over her government&#8217;s budget proposals.  With Johnson out, candidates Rishi Sunak and Penny Mordaunt remain in the leadership race.  &#8211; I have contacted both Rishi and Penny because I hoped we could find a solution together, but unfortunately we have not been able to find a way to do this, says Johnson&#8217;s statement.<br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nrk.no\/nyheter\/boris-johnson-trekker-seg_---ikke-det-riktige-a-gjore-1.16150037\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ttn-69 <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>23 October 2022 at 22:04 Boris Johnson withdraws: &#8211; Not the right thing to do Boris Johnson withdraws from the Tories&#8217; leadership race, reports Sky News.
