It’s one apparent king after another; there isn’t a single one of the major houses of Westeros that doesn’t think they have some kind of a claim to the kingship now. Stannis Baratheon is, by-and-large, the rightful king however, and should only have to contend with Daenerys Targaryen on who ought to sit on the Iron Throne. That being said, the odds of him donning the infamous golden crown have dropped drastically in the wake of his failed assault on King’s Landing. Nobody really knows what happened to Stannis or what was left of his army, after the battle, or how he and the remnants of his house plan to deal with his claim to the throne now that he’s been reduced to a largely powerless man on a big rock in the middle of the sea with no-one but a fire-worshipping priestess for company.
