Rishi Sunak is now the closest anyone of Indian origin has ever been to take charge as British Prime Minister after his Conservative Party colleagues voted overwhelmingly in his favour with 137 votes in the final round yesterday.
In the 5th round of voting involving three contestants, Sunak topped with 137 votes, followed by Liz Truss with 113. Penny Mordaunt received 105 votes, the lowest in Wednesday’s contest, and was eliminated from the race. Sunak continues with his impressive performance, topping every round of voting so far, and by a fair margin.
