42-year old Rishi Sunak to be UK prime minister

Rishi Sunak will become Britain’s youngest prime minister in modern times and the country’s first non-white leader after Conservative MPs overwhelmingly backed him to succeed Liz Truss.

The former chancellor’s path to office was cleared on Sunday when ex-prime minister Boris Johnson abandoned his hopes of a comeback. Johnson had secured the public backing of just over 50 MPs but claimed he could have won the contest.

Penny Mordaunt, Sunak’s last remaining rival for the Conservative party leadership following Truss’s resignation last week, pulled out of the contest minutes before the deadline for nominations at 2pm on Monday.

Mordaunt, leader of the House of Commons, secured the nominations of 90 Tory MPs — fewer than the 100 needed to enter the contest. She said that “colleagues feel the need for certainty” and urged the party to unite behind Sunak.

Her withdrawal meant that Sunak was the only leadership candidate, so the contest ended without the need for an online vote by Conservative party members.

Sunak, 42, is younger than both Tony Blair and David Cameron when they became prime minister. His Indian grandparents emigrated to Britain from east Africa and he grew up in Southampton.

Although he won the overwhelming backing of Tory MPs, Sunak is a divisive figure in the Tory party, with many supporters of Johnson accusing him of undermining his premiership when he quit as chancellor in July.

Sunak now faces a daunting in-tray, including a crisis in the public finances, high inflation, stretched public services, industrial unrest, soaring energy bills and even the possibility of blackouts in the new year.

Sunak, a fiscal conservative who has vowed to “fix the economy”, promised in a statement on Sunday: “There will be integrity, professionalism and accountability at every level of the government I lead.”
