Rishi Sunak is the first person of Indian origin to become the British prime minister. He is the fifth Conservative party leader elected to the top post in the past 6 years.
He was elected unopposed as the new leader of the governing Conservative Party on Monday, following Penny Mordaunt's withdrawal from the race.
The 42-year-old served as the Parliament Under-Secretary in former Prime Minister Theresa May’s second term.
He served as Treasury Chief Secretary under the Boris Johnson government in 2019. Sunak was promoted to Chancellor of the Exchequer in 2020, considered Britain’s second most important position.
