After a two-month-long wait since former Prime Minister Boris Johnson vacated his post after several scandals being unearthed amongst the Conservative Party, the Party has announced their leader as Liz Truss, who will assume the post of the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
She beat her competitor Rishi Sunak to Britain’s highest post. Truss had emerged as the two candidates of the Tories and Truss won the majority vote amongst Conservative Party in which over 1.7 lakh Tories voted.
Sunak received a total of 60,399 votes and Truss bagged 81,326 votes.
Truss inherits a Britain that has been embroiled in deep recession, high inflation and a period where its primary foe, Russia, has invaded Ukraine and thrown the European Continent into a complete state of chaos.
