According to British media, the names of Truss and Sunak as the last two candidates remained the same. Sunak is a great administrator.
now what next
Sunak and Truss will tour the UK for the first time with the postal ballot voting for Conservative Party members to be held in September. During this, he will inform the party members about his policy and priority.
The Conservative Party has about 2 lakh members. They make up about 0.3% of the total UK population. On 7 July, Boris Johnson resigned as leader of the parliamentary party. However, he will remain the prime minister till October.
The final round is not easy
According to 'The Guardian', Sunak saved the British economy from destruction during the Corona era. Very low-spoken and calm-tempered Sunak is a favorite, but Truss is not far behind. Johnson is also in favor of Liz.
YouGov recently surveyed Conservative Party members. In this, 54 people voted in favor of Truss while 35% of people voted in favor of Sunak. Sunak has said that he is not in favor of reducing taxes but will check inflation at all costs. The next general election in Britain will be held in January 2025. According to a survey, the people of Britain now want to give a chance to the Labor Party. If the new Prime Minister wants, with the approval of the cabinet, he can conduct general elections even before time.
