Liz Truss to take oath today, Rishi Sunak to be dropped from new cabinet

Rishi Sunak, who was defeated in the party leadership contest is not likely to be given any Cabinet berth, breaking from the tradition whereby most unsuccessful leadership contenders have been offered posts, reports said.

The newly elected Conservative leader Liz Truss will take the oath as the next UK Prime Minister on Tuesday. Liz Truss will be the third woman Prime Minister of the United Kingdom after Margaret Thatcher and Theresa May.

Liz Truss defeated rival Rishi Sunak with 81,326 votes to 60,399 among party members. The announcements of the key ministerial portfolios are expected to be announced today by evening.
For the first time in Britain’s history, there will not be a white man in one of the four great offices of state, reports said

According to the British daily newspaper Guardian, James Cleverly may be appointed as foreign secretary, Suella Braverman as home secretary and Kwasi Kwarteng as chancellor.

The expected appointments were welcomed by Boris Johnson’s former race adviser, Samuel Kasumu, who resigned last year after a controversial report by the Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities, Guardian reported.
