Nigel Farage has topped a poll on who should be the next Tory leader, with Suella Braverman second and Boris Johnson third.<\/p>\n
The Express asked readers who they thought should replace Rishi Sunak as he faces a crisis over the Rwanda scheme.<\/p>\n
As of 6pm yesterday, more than 5,000 people had voted in the survey on this website.<\/p>\n
Mr Farage, the former Ukip and Brexit Party leader who is currently taking part in I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here, came first with 41 per cent despite not currently being a Tory member.<\/p>\n
Mrs Braverman, who was sacked as home secretary last month and has come out against emergency legislation on Rwanda, was second with 22 per cent.<\/p>\n
Mr Johnson, who was forced out of No 10 last year following a series of scandals, came third with 14 per cent of votes.<\/p>\n
Commons Leader Penny Mordaunt came fourth on 11 per cent after rising to prominence with her sword-wielding role during the King’s Coronation.<\/p>\n
Business and Trade Secretary Kemi Badenoch was fifth on three per cent, while Lord David Cameron – who made a sensational comeback as Foreign Secretary – was just behind on two percent.<\/p>\n
Five per cent said it should be another name not listed in the poll, while two per cent were unsure.<\/p>\n
It comes as turmoil over the Rwanda scheme has laid bare Tory divisions and led to speculation over whether some in the party would like to see a change in leadership.<\/p>\n
But Conservative Party chairman Richard Holden yesterday insisted it would be “insanity” to hold another leadership contest.<\/p>\n
