Rishi Sunak is Britain’s next leader after Mordaunt removed herself from the race
It’s official, Rishi Sunak will become the next prime minister of the United Kingdom.
Sunak was met with a round of applause when arriving at Conservative Party HQ in Westminster.
He is the third prime minister the country has seen in just three months, following Boris Johnson and Liz Truss’ resignations.
Chairman of the Committee of Conservative MPs, Sir Graham Brady, announced the victory.
Sunak has pledged his commitment to the United Kingdom.
He has the responsibility of steering a deeply divided country through an economic downturn and political unrest.
But Sunak has vowed to get Britain back on track.
“The United Kingdom is a great country but there is no doubt we face a profound economic challenge. We now need stability and unity and I will make it my utmost priority to bring our party and our country together.”

The economy is top of mind here. There’s a cost of living crisis and inflation is over 10 per cent. But Sunak might be the best positioned to tackle the financial turmoil.
He’s the former finance minister, he’s been very clear about his planned policies for taxes and growth, and just look at the markets: today’s news has rallied the British stock exchange and the pound.
Labour says that three Prime Ministers in this short time is a sign that the conservative party doesn’t have things together – they’re calling for a new general election to let the voters decide what the balance of power looks like in Parliament.
That’s unlikely to happen though. Rishi Sunak should have the keys to 10 Downing Street in the next 24 hours.
