Rishi Sunak will be named Britain’s 57th Prime Minister today.
In a statement yesterday evening, Johnson said there was a “very good chance” he could have been back in No 10 by the end of the week but admitted he could not unite the Tories.
Sunak also praised his predecessor, Truss, in his victory speech. “I’d like to pay tribute to Liz Truss for her dedicated public service to the country. She has led with dignity and grace through a time of great change and under exceptionally difficult circumstances both at home and abroad,” he said. “I am humbled and honoured to have the support of my parliamentary colleagues and to be elected as leader of the Conservative and Unionist Party.
He continued: “It is the greatest privilege of my life to be able to serve the party I love and give back to the country I owe so much to. The United Kingdom is a great country. But there is no doubt we face a profound economic challenge. We now need stability, and unity, and I will make it my utmost priority to bring our party and our country together.
A timetable for the transition of power is yet to be confirmed, but Sunak is expected to become PM by the end of the week.
