In June 2019, Mr Hunt stood as a candidate for the leadership of the Conservative Party.[2] Although he reached the final two, he was ultimately defeated by Boris Johnson with 46,656 votes to Johnson's 92,153 on July 23, 2019.[3]
Political views
Jeremy Hunt stated in 2012[4] and 2019 that the legal time limit for abortion in the UK should be halved to 12 weeks. For this stance, which is still fairly liberal, left-wing activists accused Hunt of "attacking women's rights".
