Liz Truss, who was elected as the leader of the ruling Conservative Party in the UK, became the new prime minister of the country.
The results of the voting conducted by party members at the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Center in the nation’s capital London were released by MP Sir Graham Brady, chairman of the “1922 Committee,” the organization responsible for conducting the leadership election and removal procedures in the party.
As a result, Rishi Sunak received 60,399 votes, while Liz Truss received 81,326 votes.
Truss was therefore qualified to succeed David Cameron as the country’s new prime minister after winning the Conservative Party’s leadership contest.
Truss, who is married and mother of 2 children, became “Britain’s 3rd female prime minister” after Margaret Thatcher and Theresa May.
