Johnson returns to UK as Sunak gathers more support

Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson is back in the UK as the race for the leadership of the ruling Conservative Party gathers pace.

Johnson and his family landed back at Gatwick airport on Saturday after their holiday in the Dominican Republic.

The governing Conservative Party has ordered a race that aims to finalise nominations Monday and install a new prime minister within a week. Leading the pack in lawmakers' support is former Treasury chief Rishi Sunak, who was previously runner-up to Truss.
