Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has dropped out of the race to 10 Downing Street, Sky News reported on Sunday. Johnson was considered a potential replacement for Liz Truss, the former Conservative leader and Prime Minister, who resigned Thursday.

"Boris Johnson is out of the Conservative leadership race," the channel said in a statement. According to the broadcaster, the move opens the door to former Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak, who announced his bid earlier on Sunday.

After Truss’ resignation last week, Johnson was rumored to be seeking his old position. Allies of Johnson claimed that he had 100 backers in the party needed to run for PM, though media outlets refuted that claim.

Johnson claims to have enough backing to win the Prime Minister post. However, he said in a statement it “would simply not be the right thing to do.”

“There is a very good chance that I would be successful in the election with Conservative Party members - and that I could indeed be back in Downing Street on Friday,” Johnson said in a statement. “But in the course of the last days I have sadly come to the conclusion that this would simply not be the right thing to do. You can't govern effectively unless you have a united party in parliament.”

Johnson claimed to have the support of 102 MPs, enough to run for the office of Prime Minister. However, only 57 MPs publicly declared for Johnson. With him announcing he would not seek the position, it is unlikely the public will find out if the claim was true.
