Will Indian Origin Rishi Sunak be UK’s new Prime Minister?

UK Prime Minister Liz Truss today said that she is resigning as prime minister, announcing that her successor will be elected by the end of next week. Truss's mini-budget, which sent shockwaves through the markets, was responsible for her downfall.

Truss, who came under fire for her disastrous economic plan, took a complete U-turn after she announced her resignation, only 24 hours after saying she is not a “quitter” and would continue to fight.

The outgoing prime minister said that she took the decision to resign for failing to “deliver the mandate” on which she was elected by the Conservative Party.

A video was viral on the internet where Rishi Sunak was talking about the potential downfall of the economy if Liz Truss is elected as Prime Minister.

As Liz Truss announced her resignation on Thursday, there is a clear winner on who the next British prime minister will be; and that is Rishi Sunak. As per polls, Sunak has 55% chance of winning the next PM race, far ahead of second favourite, Penny Mordaunt, who has only a 16% chance.

The Daily Telegraph has confirmed that Rishi Sunak is contesting. His image as the Chancellor during the pandemic was much appreciated by the general public. He had served under Boris Johnson. Ordinary people believe that Sunak has the brains to do the job.
