The Anyone But Boris campaign is run by his own party.

The Conservative party in Parliament has taken an enormous hit, is in
severe disarray and that means they will look for candidates who are
not a national bad joke, or as derided by voters (and many CON MPs) as
Boris. Remember, we already had him on public view as mayor of London.
He has quite limited and shallow political experience in parliament.
And, he's too like Trump.

" the Anyone But Boris squad in the Tory party is up and running and
made up of a curious mixture of Cameroons, social Conservatives who
disapprove of Boris?s romantic entanglements and dry Conservatives who
don?t think the former mayor is an authentic Tory or suspect that he
didn?t really back Brexit because he believed it but because it would
boost his leadership chances.

Already, anti-Boris WhatsApp groups are furiously buzzing away. The
Cameroon ABB faction met on Friday morning shortly after the prime
minister resigned and ran through a list of names of potential
contenders. The group, which included Nick Boles, arch-Osborneite Matt
Hancock and Thérèse Coffey, considered Nicky Morgan and Stephen Crabb
before alighting on Theresa May as their preferred candidate."
