London: Former UK Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak, who is probably heading to become the PM of UK, has praised Boris Johnson's contribution during his tenure as the Prime Minister.
Johnson has ruled himself out of the race to replace ex-PM Liz Truss.
1/ Boris Johnson delivered Brexit and the great vaccine roll-out.

He led our country through some of the toughest challenges we have ever faced, and then took on Putin and his barbaric war in Ukraine.
We will always be grateful to him for that.

"Although he has decided not to run for PM again, I truly hope he continues to contribute to public life at home and abroad," he said.
Sunak announced on Sunday he would be running for the leadership of the Conservative Party and the post of prime minister.
Outgoing UK Prime Minister Liz Truss became the shortest-serving prime minister in UK history.
She will remain in office until her successor is elected.
The Conservative Party will hold an online vote to pick its new leader and next prime minister from Oct 24-28.
