Ms Truss, who is currently the foreign secretary, will travel to Balmoral tomorrow where she will meet the Queen and be asked to form a government and become prime minister.

Only then did she ‘pay tribute’ to her ‘fellow candidates, particularly Mr Sunak’ for a ‘hard-fought campaign’ that she said showed the depth of talent in the party. On Sunday, Ms Truss told the BBC that she was ‘not a quitter’, something that her rival could be accused of after he stepped down as Chancellor and set the dominoes rolling on Boris Johnson’s time in No10. For his part, Mr Sunak described his adversary’s economic approach, including tax cuts, as a ‘gamble’ on the nation’s finances and accused her of ‘starry-eyed boosterism’. The pair also clashed over how to deal with the cost of living crisis, with Ms Truss accusing her fellow candidate of ‘Gordon Brown economics’.

UK foreign secretary Liz Truss defeated Indian-origin former chancellor Rishi Sunak to be named the winner of the Conservative Party leadership contest on ...

Truss' campaign pledge to reverse Sunak's tax hike plans while he was Chancellor to tackle the cost-of-living crisis facing the country seems to have worked in favour. She is the third female Prime Minister in Britain, after Margaret Thatcher and Theresa May. UK foreign secretary Liz Truss defeated Indian-origin former chancellor Rishi Sunak to be named the winner of the Conservative Party leadership contest on Monday and will now go on to formally take charge as British Prime Minister as Boris Johnson's successor.

The winner of the Tory leadership contest is revealed later - before becoming PM on Tuesday.

And the stakes are high, for voters are worried about their bills most of all. But also for the Conservative Party, worried about its future. [travel to Balmoral Castle in Scotland](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-62728328) to be appointed by the Queen, rather than at Buckingham Palace. That will include tax cuts and help for families and businesses. The original field of 11 contenders was whittled down to two in a series of Tory MP ballots, with the final pair going into a run-off to be decided by the membership, which stands at about 160,000. Mr Johnson was forced out in July by a ministerial revolt over a string of scandals, just over two-and-a-half years after leading the Tories to a landslide victory at the 2019 election. Ms Truss did not rule out a freeze on Sunday but has previously described the idea as a "sticking plaster" and argues more needs to be done to help the UK boost its domestic sources of energy. She said any further support would have to go "hand in hand" with efforts to boost nuclear energy, fracking for shale gas and more oil and gas drilling in the North Sea. On Sunday the foreign secretary declined to say whether further help would be universal or targeted at the most needy, saying she would need time in office to iron out the details of her plan. After weeks of talking to Conservative members, the new prime minister will have to start talking to the country immediately. Ms Truss is yet to offer details of her cost-of-living support plan beyond saying she will temporarily scrap green levies on energy bills and reverse the rise in National Insurance introduced during Mr Johnson's tenure. BBC News has been told that a menu of options has been worked up in Whitehall to help struggling households, including a freeze on energy bills.

In a tougher fight than expected, Indian-origin Rishi Sunak lost to UK Foreign Secretary Liz Truss in the Conservative Party leadership contest on Monday.

A former Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sunak, 42, emerged as a graceful loser and thanked everyone who voted for him in the campaign. In percentage terms, she received 57.4 per cent of the votes and Sunak 42.6 per cent. In leadership contests since 2001, no winning leader has got less than 40 per cent of the votes. Sunak finally received 60,399 votes as against 81,326 by Truss, whose loyalty to outgoing PM Boris Johnson may have tilted the balance. On Tuesday afternoon, Truss will formally lay claim to her new office after her predecessor Boris Johnson hands over his formal resignation to the Queen. Confident that under your leadership, the India-UK comprehensive strategic partnership will be further strengthened.

Britain's Rishi Sunak, who lost the race to become Britain's prime minister on Monday, said the party must now unite behind winner Liz Truss.

From his 'mansplaining' tendencies to his disloyalty to Boris Johnson, Rishi Sunak went wrong on several counts.

In the mortal realm of politics, it is more likely that the crisis-riven conditions of the economy and much of the public service infrastructure, notably health, will create a political restiveness. Sunak will likely join the global elite of billionaire clubs that he truly belongs to and do what they do—make money while spending luxuriously. His exit also marks another moment as Sunak’s country of origin, that is India, famed for its diversity has zero Muslim representation in the ruling benches in its parliament. Loyalty is the principal sign of the political follower, but disloyalty will cost the crown to both the leader and the contender. Little wonder that this critical point has found little to no mention in the Indian commentary that has otherwise kept an eager and watchful eye on Sunak’s campaign. Labour has traditionally banked on African and Asian minority votes yet it has not promoted any minority figures to frontline leadership, barring Sadiq Khan, who is the current Labour mayor of London. The change of guard will force both political parties, Conservative and Labour, in two contradictory directions of ideological clarity and political compromise. When he did speak, Sunak adopted a patronising tone as he aimed to mansplain the economy and whatnot to her. Second, and to my mind the more important reason, is that Sunak behaved too much like a man we—especially women—sadly know all too well. That he came so close to taking the mantle only highlights the difference between the place of diversity in India and Britain. An apt comparison would be if India were to have a Muslim prime minister, as ethnic and racial minorities in Britain occupy a similar place to that of religious minorities in India. Wildly popular as chancellor, Rishi Sunak was widely tipped to be Boris Johnson’s successor through the rocky year of 2021 as the latter kept running through his proverbial nine lives—courting, and surviving scandal after scandal.

Truss will succeed ousted Boris Johnson. Truss defeated her rival Rishi Sunak.

"Wish you the very best for your new role and responsibilities," he said in a tweet. Truss said she will take bold action "to get all of us through these tough times, grow our economy, and unleash the United Kingdom’s potential". She thanked the party leaders for putting their trust in her to lead and deliver for the country.

Rishi Sunak has refuted claims of stepping away from politics, saying it is a 'great privilege' to serve his constituency Richmond, Yorkshire.
