Former Mayor of London Boris Johnson is overwhelming favourite to become the next Prime Minister.
Following the resignation of David Cameron, Johnson is now odds-on favourite to take the Conservative leader job and become the UK’s PM.
Boris is 5/6 to be next Conservative Party leader, well ahead of rivals Theresa May (11/4), Michael Gove (9/2) and Priti Patel (11/1).
Betway’s Alan Alger, said: “Britain voting to leave the EU followed by David Cameron resigning from his position as Prime Minister are two pieces of news that will come as a big surprise to many. Pro-Brexiteer Boris Johnson will be overjoyed with the result and is now the odds-on favourite to be the next Conservative Party leader.
“Whether the Tories wish to install such a devoted Euro-sceptic is yet to be seen, though, and Theresa May, who played her Brexit cards close to her chest, is second in the betting at 11/4.”
