Gyimah declared his intention on Sunday during an interview on Sky’s Sophy Ridge On Sunday. “I will be joining the contest to be the next Conservative leader and prime minister to broaden the race. There is a wide range of candidates out there but there is a very narrow set of views on Brexit being discussed,” he said among other things.

Gyimah was appointed a Minister of State for Universities, Science, Research and Innovation in January 2018 but he had to resign in November 2018 in order to to be able to criticise May over her Brexit deal.
