As the day progressed on Saturday, Rishi Sunak and Johnson also reached a conclusion. Neither of the two leaders announced the candidature, but there have been media reports that both the leaders have agreed on a joint ticket. At the same time, Tory lawmakers have called on the two leaders to put aside their differences and reach a conclusion. Tory lawmakers say that a deal should be finalized in which one can be made prime minister and the other can serve at a senior position in the cabinet.
The Washington Post quoted the Guardian as saying that Rishi Sunak currently has 126 members, Johnson has 54 and Penny Mordent has 24 members. At the same time, according to the BBC, Sunak has 128, Johnson has 53 and Mordent has 23 members.
