What next for Indian-origin Rishi Sunak after UK PM race
Sunak called for Conservative Party unity and urged his supporters to rally behind Truss after losing to him on Monday. He stated that he would support the government led by his opponent, but that he would not serve in the cabinet.
Rishi Sunak, the Indian-origin ex-Chancellor of the United Kingdom who lost the race to become the next Prime Minister of the United Kingdom to Liz Truss on Monday, said it was a “real privilege” to be his country’s finance minister and that “I am proud of my record…”
“It’s a real privilege to have the job that I’ve had, to have been chancellor at a time of enormous difficulty for our country and I am proud of my record as chancellor, helping safeguard our economy through the biggest [pandemic] shock it experienced in something like 300 years,” he said after the result of the ruling Conservative Party’s leadership poll.
