Rishi Sunak Is Britain’s Next Prime Minister. Here’s What To Know #WorldNEWS
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: After a tumultuous period of political instability, Britain is once again poised to get a new leader. This time, that leader is Rishi Sunak.
That Sunak, 42, will enter 10 Downing Street less than two months after losing his first leadership bid to Liz Truss may well be remembered as one of the swiftest political comebacks in British history. But it is also hardly a surprise: The former finance minister was the top choice among fellow Conservative Party lawmakers to replace Boris Johnson after the erstwhile Prime Minister was toppled from power in July. (Truss, meanwhile, was the favorite among the Conservative party’s roughly 200,000 grassroots members, who typically get the final say in leadership races. ) This time, Sunak secured the support of nearly 200 lawmakers, besting Johnson (who preemptively dropped out of the race, citing his inability to command party unity) and Penny Mordaunt (the House of Commons leader who withdrew from the contest at the last minute after failing to secure the requisite support to enter the race) and thus avoiding a runoff vote on Friday.

We now need stability and unity and I will make it my utmost priority to bring our party and our country together, Sunak said, in his first address to the nation after being crowned the next leader of the Conservative party. Sunak is expected to take over from Truss as Prime Minister on Tuesday.
Like his predecessor, Sunak is unlikely to get a honeymoon period. The immediate test will be whether his reputation for fiscal conservatism will be enough to calm the markets and steer the country through the litany of challenges it faces, not least a cost-of-living crisis, rising energy costs, and soaring inflation.
The scale of challenges facing Sunak risks obscuring the historic nature of his premiership. He will not only be Britain’s first non-white leader, but its first Asian and Hindu Prime Minister too—an achievement that is especially meaningful as it coincides with Diwali. His victory will join the long line of political firsts achieved by the Conservative Party, including the country’s first Jewish Prime Minister in Benjamin Disraeli and its first, second, and third female prime ministers in Margaret Thatcher, Theresa May, and Truss.
Below, what you need to know about Sunak.
Who is Rishi Sunak?
The historic nature of his premiership notwithstanding, Sunak followed one of the most traditional paths to power. Born in the English port city of Southampton to Hindu Punjabi immigrants from East Africa, Sunak was educated at the prestigious Winchester College, one of the U. K. ’s elite private boarding schools, before going on to study philosophy, politics, and economics—the quintessential degree for anyone aspiring to go into British politics—at Oxford University.
