Former British Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak has once again announced that he will run for the leadership of the Conservative Party and Prime Minister of Great Britain. About this reports the Russian service of the BBC.
Sunak has already received the support of the minimum required 100 deputies.
Previously, Sunak has already participated in the election of the prime minister, but lost to Liz Truss in the last round of voting.
Let us remind that the post of leader of the Conservative Party and Prime Minister of Great Britain was vacated after Liz Truss decided to resign. In this position, she lasted only a month and a half.
Rishi Sunak was born in 1980 in Hampshire (England, Great Britain) to a Punjabi family, descendants of immigrants from India. He became a member of the British Parliament in 2015, and in 2019 he was appointed Minister of Finance. He remained in this post until July 5 this year, when he announced his resignation following his colleague, Health Minister Sajid Javid.
Rishi Sunak is considered one of the richest politicians in the UK. In May 2022, his net worth with his wife was estimated at £730 million.
