Former foreign minister Boris Johnson will face Jeremy Hunt in a race to be Britain's PM today. 160,000 Conservative party members will cast vote today to decide who will succeed Theresa May as the country's premier.
Others competing for the post included Environment Secretary Michael Gove and International Development Secretary Rory Stewart. Former London Mayor Johnson known for gaffes has called Muslim women wearing burqas 'letterboxes' and referred to black people as 'piccaninnies'.
Hunt has been vocal on political issues and of late had said that UK should strive for reduced tensions with Iran and avoid nuclearisation of the state.
While Johnson is considered to be able to break the Brexit deadlock the country currently faces, Hunt has been known as a tough negotiator.
May, in the meantime will submit her official resignation to the Queen at Buckingham palace on Wednesday while the Prime Minister will be announced on Tuesday.
