BIG headlines of the day | Rishi Sunak to take charge as UK PM after meeting King Charles | 25.10.2022

Rishi Sunak will take the charge as Britain’s first Indian-origin Prime Minister today after an audience with King Charles III. Sunak will be taking the charge a day after he was elected the new leader of the Conservative Party in a historic leadership run. His meeting with the 73-year old monarch will take place after outgoing Prime Minister Liz Truss will chair her final Cabinet meeting at 10 Downing Street on Tuesday morning before she makes her way to Buckingham Palace to formally tender her resignation to the King.

Following Truss' meeting, Sunak, 42, will then arrive at the palace for his meeting with the King, who will formally anoint him as the UK’s new Prime Minister.
