Ready to get Britain's “rent”? Who is Richie Sunak?

Except for a big surprise from President Penny Mordant, Sunnak is expected to be the only contender with the official support of 100 deputies.

This means that the Conservative Party will probably not need to use the members' vote (at 17:30) and Sunak will be elected at 1600, the new party leader and the country's new prime minister automatically.

The pending “prime minister, according to British media, is known locally but slightly outside.

He is not too popular for the vast public in the country, and many doubt that he can reverse Labus' enormous supremacy in the polls.

Sunnak, 42, was born in Southampton, southern England, by parents of Indian origin who had emigrated to Britain from East Africa. His family emigrated to Britain in the 1960s, a time when many from former British Colonels arrived to help rebuild the country after World War II.

After graduating from Oxford University, he later studied at Stanford University, where he met his wife Aksatha Murthy, whose father is Indian billionaire Narayana Murthy, founder of the giant Infosis Ltd.

Sunak at the age of 39 became the Treasury Chancellor under Johnson's leadership. His critics say he betrayed Johnson, whom he promoted when he resigned as finance minister in early July.

This led to the dissolution of the cabinet and the subsequent Johnson fall.

“I served as your Chancellor, to help flourish the economy in the most difficult times,” said Sunak in a statement Sunday.

“The challenges we face now are even greater. But opportunities if we make the right choice are amazing. It is absolutely clear that Richshi Sunak has the potential needed to face the challenges Britain is currently facing, he is the right person to lead our party,”, former cabinet minister Sayid Javid said in his statement.

That is what most people in the party also believe, if not the British people in general.
