Rishi Sunak became Britain's third prime minister on 25th of October this year. He became the first person of color to lead the former imperial power.
Rishi Sunak was born on 12 May 1980. Sunak held two Cabinet positions under prime minister Boris Johnson, and has been Member of Parliament (MP) for Richmond (Yorks) since 2015.
Truss left the office after the shortest-serving period of 49 days in history; she resigned after a disastrous tax-slashing budget which sparked economic and political chaos.
