In July 2022, Braverman announced her candidacy for Leader of the Conservative Party in the leadership election to replace Boris Johnson.[2] She was eliminated in the sound round of voting on 14 July 2022.[3]
Braverman resigned as Home Secretary on 19 October 2022. She said this was because she had made an "honest mistake" by sharing an official document from her personal email address with a colleague in Parliament.[4][5] In her resignation letter she criticized the leadership of Truss.[6] When Rishi Sunak replaced Truss as prime minister, he picked Braverman as Home Secretary again.
