Meet Britian's New Prime Minister - Rishi Sunak

Rishi Sunak has won the race to be the next prime minister.

Mr Sunak is the youngest person elected as prime minister for more than 200 years. He is the first British Asian prime minister in the United Kingdom. 

Sunak pledges in his first speech to bring his party and the UK together as that would be his "utmost priority".

Mr Sunak - a 42-year-old practising Hindu - is expected to take office on Tuesday after being formally appointed by the King.

He won the Tory leadership contest after rival Penny Mordaunt failed to secure enough backing from MPs.

He replaces Liz Truss, following her resignation just 45 days into her tumultuous premiership last week.

Sunak takes office as the third Conservative prime minister since the party won the last general election in 2019 - prompting Labour to lead calls for an early general election as a result.

Later, in a TV address that lasted less than two minutes, Mr Sunak promised to serve with "integrity" and thanked outgoing Prime Minister Liz Truss for leading the country during "exceptionally difficult circumstances".

"The United Kingdom is a great country but there is no doubt we face a profound economic challenge," he said. "We now need stability and unity and I will make it my utmost priority to bring our party and our country together."
