Just In: Rushi Sunak Would Become The Next British Prime Minister And The Youngest In The Last 100 Year.

Rishi Sunak, the former UK finance minister, is set to be the country’s next prime minister after his only rival withdrew from the Conservative Party leadership race on Monday.

The 42-year-old politician will be Britain’s youngest prime minister in more than a century, the country’s first nonwhite leader and the first Hindu to take the job.

In a short statement on Monday, Sunak paid tribute to outgoing Prime Minister Liz Truss, saying she had dealt with “exceptionally difficult circumstances.”

He said he wanted to give back to country he “owed so much to.”
