Eight candidates are vying for the position.

It’s barely been a week since the now-former British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, announced that he would be resigning from his post, leaving a power vacuum that needs to be filled immediately. The country’s ruling Conservative Party have already assembled a roster of eight candidates for the position, and the first round of voting is already underway.

The eight candidates include former Finance Minister Rishi Sunak, Foreign Secretary Liz Truss, Finance Minister Nadhim Zahawi, Tom Tugendhat, Suella Braverman, Former Health Minister Jeremy Hunt, international trade minister Penny Mordaunt, and Kemi Badenoch. The favorites to win are Badenoch and Sunak, with them holding 19% and 12% of the preliminary vote. Any candidate that receives fewer than 30 votes in the first round of voting will be eliminated from the running.

Analysts believe that it will take time to get the country’s politics on a more concrete path and past the controversies of Boris Johnson. “It’s a wide open race for the fall … but either way, Johnson’s two most important foreign policy initiatives—on Europe and on Ukraine — aren’t going to change. On the former, with Brexit and euroskepticism already firmly in place for the Conservative Party, there’s no lane for a softer Europe policy, even on the contentious Northern Ireland issue, among premiership competitors,” said Ian Bremmer, president of Eurasia Group.

“That leaves plenty of uncertainty domestically— on fiscal easing and corporate tax policy for example. But I don’t see fireworks over who leads the United Kingdom driving much drama outside of old Blighty.”
