Rishi Sunak: Politics is taking a turn moment by moment in Britain. After the resignation of Liz Truss, once again British politician of Indian origin Rishi Sunak is leading the race for Prime Minister. According to UK media reports, Rishi Sunak is going to become the next Prime Minister of UK. Boris Johnson has announced not to contest the election. On the other hand, now Rishi Sunak has only Penny's challenge in front of him, which is being considered as negligible.
Rishi Sunak has the support of 142 members of Parliament. Much more than the 100 marks required to secure the top position. Just weeks after losing to Liz Truss in a summer leadership contest, Tory MPs are making a new attempt to run for the PM post."I want to fix my economy, unify my party and work for my country," the former Indian-origin chancellor said in a brief statement confirming his widely expected candidacy.Boris Johnson is out of the race for prime minister. It was claimed by his supporters that Johnson has the support of 100 MPs, but UK media reports do not agree with this claim. At the same time, he decided to drop out of the race for the post of PM and said that he would not lead a "united party in Parliament".
Boris Johnson said he had won the support of 102 lawmakers and could "return to Downing Street", but failed to persuade Sunak, or other contender Penny Mordant, to come together "in the national interest".
