Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak has impressed hugely during the Coronavirus pandemic, and he is now odds-on to become Prime Minister in his career.<\/p>\n

The 39-year-old has approved a series of packages to try and help stabilise the economy, and whilst Prime Minister Boris Johnson has received some negative press.<\/p>\n

But, Sunak is being praised from all areas and it has not done his future prospects any harm at all.<\/p>\n

Bookmakers now make him favourite to be the successor to Boris as Conservative Party Leader, now at 9\/2 – some way ahead of ubiquitous Tory leadership candidate Michael Gove – who is 10\/1.<\/p>\n

Sunak – the current MP for Richmond in North Yorkshire – is odds-on to be PM at some point in his lifetime at 5\/6, although he is just 6\/4 to be axed by Boris too!<\/p>\n

OddsMonkey spokesman Peter Watton commented: “Rishi Sunak is really looking like a star of the future, just weeks ago he moved into 11 Downing Street when he was appointed Chancellor and already he is being linked with the big move next door.<\/p>\n

“Odds-on to be a Prime Minister, he is a star in the making for the Tory Party – and it is not surprise to see him firm favourite to be Boris Johnson’s successor.”<\/p>\n

Rishi Sunak odds:<\/strong><\/span>
\nTo be Prime Minister in his lifetime – 5\/6
\nTo be sacked by Boris Johnson during his first term – 6\/4<\/p>\n

Next Conservative Party Leader:<\/strong><\/span>
\nRishi Sunak – 9\/2
\nMichael Gove – 10\/1
\nSajid Javid – 12\/1
\nPriti Patel – 14\/1
\nTom Tugendhat – 16\/1
\nJeremy Hunt – 16\/1
\nDominic Raab – 16\/1
\nJohnny Mercer – 20\/1
\nPenny Mordaunt – 20\/1<\/p>\n
