Sunak becomes UK’s third prime minister in two months

King Charles III appointed Rishi Sunak as prime minister yesterday, becoming the third British prime minister in two months in a country plagued by unprecedented instability and deep social crisis. This is the first time that King Charles III has been appointed head of government. Outgoing Prime Minister Liz Terrace was appointed by Queen Elizabeth II on September 6 at Balmoral Palace in Scotland and died two days later. Sunak, 42, the first non-white president to lead the UK government, vowed to work for stability and unity, saying that uniting party and country will be his top priority, stressing that “the UK is a great country. For her part, British Prime Minister Liz Terrace wished success to her successor, former Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak, before leaving Downing Street, where she submitted her resignation to King Charles III 49 days after taking office. At the gates of the prime minister’s residence Minister Liz said: “I wish Rishi Sunak every success for the good of our country.” Sunak became the prime minister of a country that has gone through a serious economic and social crisis. Inflation has exceeded 10 percent, which is the highest among the G7 countries. This is happening as As energy and food prices continue to rise, and at a time when recession risks loom, Sunak will have to reassure markets rocked by the government’s Li’s Terrace budget announcements in late September, most of which were canceled with a disastrous turn.
