Rishi Sunak has vowed to carry on as an MP despite losing the Conservative leadership race, with supporters suggesting his better than expected performance means he could run again if Liz Truss loses the next general election.
The Guardian understands he told party donors at an event the day before voting closed last week that he would remain in frontline politics regardless of the result.
Allies close to the former chancellor confirmed he planned to fulfil that pledge and not quit parliament, which would have triggered an early and potentially embarrassing byelection for Truss in his Yorkshire constituency of Richmond.
Sunak received 43% of the vote from Tory members and sources on his campaign claimed they had won over a high proportion of members who remained undecided until the final weeks of the contest.
The former chancellor will not be offered a cabinet job after he declined to say last month whether he would vote for an emergency Truss budget.
Tory sources also said he would likely have rejected the offer of running a “poisoned chalice” department, such as the Department of Health and Social Care, for which the Sun previously reported that he was being lined up.
Some have suggested the wealthy Sunak could have his eye on a return to a career in banking.
