Michael Gove joins Conservative leadership race Thursday June 30,2016

 

Justice Secretary Michael Gove, one of the main campaigners to take Britain out of the EU, said on Thursday June 30,2016 he would run to become Prime Minister, shaking up the contest and hurting the chances of his Brexit ally, ex-London mayor Boris Johnson.

Last week’s EU referendum vote, when 52 % of Britons voted to leave the bloc, triggered a political crisis in Britain with Prime Minister David Cameron stepping down. His replacement will face tough talks with Europe to mend a broken relationship.

On Thursday June 30,2016, Theresa May, the Interior Minister who campaigned to remain in the EU, also announced her candidacy to lead the party.
