Uncertainities continue to haunt the Britain PM chair as rebels of the UK’s governing Conservative party are mulling to oust Britain Prime Minister Liz Truss and replace her with a joint ticket of Penny Mordaunt and Rishi Sunak, The Times reported. Rishi Sunak UK New Prime Minister! Replace Liz Truss: Report.
Within just days or weeks, newly-elected UK PM Liz Truss can be removed from the position as rebels of the governing conservative party are coming together to replace her with Penny Morduant and Rishi Sunak amid the growing economic crisis.
It was revealed on Friday that rebels within the ruling Tory Party in the UK are allegedly plotting to unseat Truss as party leader and prime minister in favour of a so-called “unity” joint ticket team that includes Rishi Sunak and Penny Mordaunt.
As per YouGov poll reports, 62% of voters who participated in the last election and chose Liz Truss as British Prime Minister believe that they made the wrong decision, while only 16% believe that they chose the right candidate.
Panicked Conservative lawmakers are now considering alternatives in the 42-year-old British Indian former Chancellor Sunak, who was the front-runner with his colleagues, and in third-place finisher Penny Mordaunt, who received the most votes within the parliamentary party.
The government is still feeling the effects of the contentious mini-budget from the end of last month, and UK Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng returned from an IMF meeting in Washington one day earlier than expected.
“Rishi’s people, Penny’s people and the sensible Truss supporters who realise she’s a disaster just need to sit down together and work out who the unity candidate is.It’s either Rishi as prime minister with Penny as his deputy and foreign secretary, or Penny as prime minister with Rishi as chancellor,” an MP was quoted by the Times as saying.
