Posted on by नेपाल राष्ट्रिय दैनिक

Conservative Party leader Rishi Sunak has become the Prime Minister of Britain. He became the first Hindu Prime Minister of Britain.

Sunak was appointed Prime Minister of the country by British King Charles on Tuesday. Sunak, 42, is the first prime minister to be appointed by King Charles.

Sunak, who replaced Liz Truss, who announced her resignation on October 20 amid growing discontent among her colleagues in the ruling Conservative Party over her failed economic policies, had previously been defeated by Truss in an internal party race for prime minister.

Sunak has become the sole contender for Prime Minister from the Conservative Party after both rivals of the Conservative Party, former Prime Minister Boris Johnson and House of Commons leader Penny Mordaunt withdrew from the Prime Minister’s race.

Sunak is a third-generation immigrant whose family moved to Southampton, UK from Kenya and British Tanganyika (modern Tanzania) in the 1960s.

Liz Truss, leader of the ruling Conservative Party, is set to become the Britain’s third female prime minister.

Truss is set to become the Britain’s next prime minister after defeating rival Rishi Sunak in Monday’s internal vote for the leadership of the Conservative Party. In the election, Truss received 57 per cent of the votes, while her opponent Rishi Sunak received 42 per cent of the votes.

Boris Johnson, who was dragged into a controversy within the party, announced his resignation from the post of Prime Minister last July. Despite replacing Johnson as the leader of the Conservative Party and the Prime Ministership, those dissatisfied with Johnson’s policies have commented that Truss is a product of Johnson’s political legacy and cannot be expected to make any radical changes.

Truss will be the third female Prime Minister in British political history. Margaret Thatcher became the first Prime Minister of Britain from 1975 to 1990, while Theresa May became the second female Prime Minister of Britain from 2016 to 2019.
