“Boris Johnson delivered Brexit and the great vaccine roll-out. He led our country through some of the toughest challenges we have ever faced, and then took on Putin and his barbaric war in Ukraine. We will always be grateful to him for that,” said Rishi Sunak.
In recent times, Britain saw one of the most absurd political theatrics in history.
If Rishi Sunak wins, he will be the third British prime minister in under three months.
Liz Truss lasted for barely 44 days before being forced to resign.
Rishi Sunak is the son-in-law of Infosys founder NR Narayana Murthy.
