After being re-elected to her seat in Fareham and Waterlooville, the former home secretary attacked her own party for allowing MPs to remove Boris Johnson and install Mr. Sunak in his place.
We achieved success in 2019 because members selected Boris Johnson as prime minister, who won an election,” she stated on Tuesday at the Popular Conservatives conference.
“However, it was the Members of Parliament who removed him and installed their preferred candidate, Rishi Sunak, who ultimately caused us to suffer our worst setback.”
In reality, this was a means of depriving the participants of their say, their voice, and their rights. It must not be allowed to occur again.
Despite having a sizable majority in the general election of 2019, Mr. Johnson resigned in response to a vote of no confidence.
Members then voted in Liz Truss, who resigned 45 days later. Mr. Sunak then took over as prime minister when Penny Mordaunt withdrew from the contest before it could go to a members’ vote.
It is now anticipated that Ms. Braverman will dominate the current leadership competition.
Asserting that the Conservatives must “restore trust, not just with the electorate, but actually within our own party,” she made an appeal to members of the grassroots movement.
