Truss assumes the helm of the country in the grip of an inflationary crisis, after defeating the former chancellor’s challenges with the support of 81,326 party members, as opposed Sunak’s 603,399.
The 57 percent to 43 percent result – which was closer than many had expected and announced by the 1922 chair of the committee Sir Graham Brady in a glitzy ceremony at the QE2 Centre in Westminster, Daily Mail reported.
