  • Following another chaotic week in British politics, Rishi Sunak has won the Conservative leadership election and will now become the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
  • After the resignation of Boris Johnson, and the tumultuous 44-day-reign of failed PM Liz Truss, a greatly divided Conservative Party once again began the search for a new leader.
  • Sunak, the former Chancellor of the Exchequer, stood in the previous leadership race sparked by Johnson’s resignation, but lost to Truss after the vote was given to the party’s membership of between 150,000-200,000 people.
