<p>The Remain supporter announced his intention to run on Sky’s Sophy Ridge On Sunday, telling the programme he wanted to “broaden the race”.</p>
<p>He said: <em>“I will be joining the contest to be the next Conservative leader and prime minister to broaden the race.</em></p>
<p><em><!--Ads4--></em></p>
<p><em>“There is a wide range of candidates out there but there is a very narrow set of views on Brexit being discussed.</em></p>

<p><em>“And over the last few weeks I have watched on discussing with colleagues in frustration that while there’s a broad sweep of opinion in the country on how we move forward at this critical time that is not being reflected in the contest at the moment.”</em></p>
<p>Mr Gyimah, the MP for East Surrey, quit the Government at the end of last year over Mrs May’s Brexit plan, and has since become a vocal advocate for a second referendum.</p>
<p><em>“What most of the candidates are offering is to offer no-deal and a fudge on Theresa May’s deal which has been heavily defeated.</em></p>
<p><em>“Parliament is deadlocked, we all know that, we want to move forward, and we want to be able to bring the country together and so that is why I think a final say on the Brexit deal is the way to achieve that and for the Conservative Party I think what we need to be doing is putting the country first.”</em></p>
<p>He insisted he was not positioning himself for a cabinet post and said he would find it “very difficult” to serve as a minister under a leader pursuing a no-deal Brexit.</p>
