Britain welcomes new PM - Liz Truss

In a close contest, between Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak, the UK's Conservative party elected Ms Truss as the next prime minister and leader of the party. She won 57% share of vote while Mr Sunak received 43%, in the intra-party contest.

Ms Truss would become the third woman prime minister in the history of Britain. She is set to replace the 55th prime minister Boris Johnson, who has been holding the post since 2019.  

Meanwhile, Priti Patel, Home Secretary of UK, has resigned from the post. In her resignation letter to Boris Johnson, she said, "I congratulate Liz Truss on being elected our new leader, and will give her my support as our new prime minister." She also added, "From the backbenches, I will champion many of the policies I have stood up for both inside and outside government."

In her tweet, Ms Truss says, "I am honoured to be elected Leader of the Conservative Party. Thank you for putting your trust in me to lead and deliver for our great country." She further added, "I will take bold action to get all of us through these tough times, grow our economy, and unleash the United Kingdom’s potential." She shared the following picture in the tweet:


In her victory speech, Ms Truss also pledged to cut taxes and deliver on her plans to deal with the energy crisis and national health service.

Currently, the UK is going through one of the toughest times in history, due to staggering inflation and the rising cost of energy. Top institutions have predicted that inflation could hit above 22% next years and GDP could drop 3.4% if energy costs keep spiraling up. It is also projected that the energy bill for households could increase 80% in the coming months. Since July, the wholesale prices of gas in UK have gone up 145%. 

Mary Elizabeth Truss, (popularly known as Liz Truss) was born 26 July 1975 in Oxford, England to John Kenneth and Priscilla Mary Truss. Her father is an emeritus professor of pure mathematics at the University of Leeds and mother was a nurse, teacher and member of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament.
