I need to make a sentence with such prediction as "not a hope of". Is my sentence correct? If not, then how shall I transform it, so that the sense was the same?

There is not a hope of him becoming a prime minister.

Thanks a lot. I have no idea, why in my workbook from school is written "not a hope of" as a synonim for "definitely won't happen".

Maybe they write it that way because there is also:

He/She hasn't (got) a hope of (becoming prime minister).
