September 6, 2022

UK Foreign Minister Liz Truss has been elected as the next Prime Minister of Britain and leader of the governing Conservative Party.
With the win, she becomes the third female Prime Minister of the United Kingdom after Theresa May and Margaret Thatcher.
Liz defeated her rival, former Finance Minister Rishi Sunak by 81,326 votes to 60,399, after over a six-week-long grueling campaign.
The two contenders have gone through a postal ballot of all the Conservative members, numbering around one lakh sixty thousand Tory electorate to replace the UK’s outgoing Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
Truss takes over at a time when the UK is saddled with rising inflation and its worst cost-of-living crisis.
Following the announcement, Mr Johnson will travel to Scotland to meet Queen Elizabeth to officially tender his resignation. His successor will follow him and be asked to form a government.
